Elon Musk was seen raising his hand after the speaker at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s private club in Florida, asked the crowd, “Where is the George Soros of the Right?"

A video of the moment was shared by many social media users on X.

The event was held on Wednesday night, merely a few days after Donald Trump became the President-elect of the United States, and announced that Elon Musk would lead a new Department of Government Efficiency in his administration.

Another video from the event, doing the rounds on social media, and primarily shared by Trump aide Margo Martin, showed Musk and Trump shaking a leg with singer Christopher Macchio on ‘God Bless America’.

This was not the first time when the trio united.

In October this year, Donald Trump, his family members and Musk spoke at a rally in Butler.

At the rally, where thousands were present, Trump also asked the crowd to hold a minute of silence as he honoured Corey Comperatore, a firefighter who died at a Pennsylvania rally during an assassination attempt on Donald Trump in July.

At that time, Macchio sang a melody for the minute. He reappeared on stage at the end of the event.

For the unversed, Mar-a-Lago is the epicenter of Donald Trump’s presidential transition, and foreign leaders, contractors and those seeking a job in the administration have descended on Palm Beach, Florida, filling hotels and seeking rental properties for the next three months to get as much face time as possible with the President-elect and his top advisers, CNN said.

Members of Trump’s other properties throughout the country who normally get reciprocity to visit the clubs — but don’t for Mar-a-Lago — have reached out to the property’s management begging to get access. And some Mar-a-Lago members have been offered money by those seeking to be taken to the club as a guest and rub elbows with Trump, three sources familiar with the situation told CNN.

According to the Associated Press, Donald Trump has spent most of his first week as President-elect behind closed doors at Mar-a-Lago, where he’s working the phones, reconnecting with foreign leaders and building his new administration.

WHY DID MUSK RAISE HIS HAND FOR GEORGE SOROS?

George Soros is a Hungarian-American businessman, investor, and philanthropist. He and his son, Alex Soros, have been among the top financial backers of the Democratic Party for the US elections.

In fact, Alex Soros has also appeared at several Democratic events, where he was also clicked mingling with prominent figures.

During a recent conversation with the media, Elon Musk was heard saying, “I think George Soros fundamentally hates humanity. He is doing things that erode the fabric of society, getting DAs elected that won’t do their jobs. “He is doing things in other countries also."

As Soros did for the Democrats, Musk has become one of Trump’s close allies and is now often seen with his family.

He publicly supported Donald Trump in the US presidential race, contributed at least 119 million dollars to America Political Action Committee (PAC), and spent nearly 152 million dollars on the US election.

According to a report with The Economic Times, Musk’s aim has been to counterbalance figures like Soros, whose influence on district attorney races has been a source of conservative criticism.
