“At the moment, Trump jumped into a brush closet to cover from Elon, and Melania was like, ‘Hey, get your personal spot!’” the “Tonight Present” host joked.
Musk, whom Trump appointed to go up his unofficial Division of Authorities Effectivity, is reportedly invading the incoming president’s house down in Mar-a-Lago.
The X proprietor took up residence at a cottage on the property over Christmas. That was after he maybe received below Trump’s pores and skin when he turned often known as the “shadow president” for seemingly wielding rising affect. Musk even used threats on politicians to scuttle a Congressional funds vote final month.
New York Occasions reporter Maggie Haberman stated the tech mogul’s bodily proximity is now grating on Trump, who’s set to return to the White Home on Jan. 20.
“Trump does complain a bit to individuals about how Musk is round loads,” Haberman stated on a podcast lately. “He actually parked himself in Trump’s face.”
As for Fallon’s sly inference that first woman Melania Trump is probably feeling cramped by her husband, it’s no secret that she could also be spending much less time on the White Home this time round.
So maybe no closet is critical at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
