The Telegraph reports:

It is a sign of Mr Trump’s growing relationship with Mr Musk, who spent an estimated $200 million through a campaign group to boost the Republican’s election efforts in key swing states.

Since Mr Trump’s victory this month, the Tesla billionaire has been a near-constant presence at his side, staying at his Florida resort and travelling with him to meet Republicans in Washington, DC and go to a UFC fight in New York.

The Trump transition team did not respond to requests for comment. However, two people familiar with the president-elect’s schedule told The New York Times that he was planning to attend the SpaceX launch on Tuesday.

Mr Musk’s company will be conducting its sixth test of Starship, the largest rocket ever built, at 5pm Eastern Time.

From POLITICO:

SpaceX is scheduled on Tuesday to launch its sixth, suborbital flight test of its Starship rocket, which Musk hopes will eventually transport humans to the moon and Mars. Trump has marveled at SpaceX and Starlink and would frequently bring it up during final weeks of the campaign.

After winning the election, Trump spoke at length about Musk deploying Starlink services to get internet to parts of the country impacted by Hurricane Helene.”He’s a character. He’s a special guy. He’s a super genius. We have to protect our geniuses,” Trump said. “We don’t have that many of them. We have to.”
