Donald Trump and Elon Musk Attend SpaceX Launch, Highlighting Unlikely Partnership

President-elect Trump joins SpaceX CEO Elon Musk for Starship test flight, as granddaughter Kai Trump documents the event in a viral video.

Donald Trump, accompanied by family members and Elon Musk, attended SpaceX's sixth Starship test flight in Texas, showcasing their growing political and professional collaboration.
The rocket's booster, intended to be reusable, splashed into the Gulf of Mexico instead of returning to the launch tower due to safety concerns, a setback Musk explained to Trump during the event.
Kai Trump, Trump's 17-year-old granddaughter, shared a behind-the-scenes vlog of the trip, including footage of the luxurious 'Trump Force One' jet and her interactions with Musk.
In the video, Trump appeared out of his element during technical discussions, prompting commentary about his discomfort and lack of his usual assertive demeanor.
Musk, a major donor to Trump’s campaign, has been appointed co-head of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, signaling his deepening role in the incoming administration.
