Tiffany Trump’s recent post celebrating her father’s election victory has stirred up a storm on social media — but not for the reason you might expect. While the family photo showed President-elect Donald Trump surrounded by loved ones, one key figure was notably absent: Melania Trump, the First Lady.
Instead, the photo featured several high-profile figures, including Twitter CEO Elon Musk, prompting many observers to question why Melania was missing.
The omission quickly became the subject of online speculation, with some fans and reporters voicing their confusion. Sky News reporter Ben Bloch led the charge, tweeting in all caps: “WHERE IS MELANIA?”
One Twitter user joked, “She wasn’t paid enough,” while another replied, “He traded her for Elon.”
Others joined the conversation, pointing out the glaring absence. Journalist Victoria Brownworth remarked, “Musk is there. Melania is not.”
“Did Elon get adopted?,” one user wondered.
Political commentator John Aravosis also weighed in, observing that Trump appeared to be keeping a distance from his grandchildren in the photo. “Trump still can’t manage to actually touch any of the grandchildren,” he quipped.
The inclusion of Elon Musk, a prominent business figure and ally of the Trump family, also sparked a range of reactions. Some social media users joked about Musk’s presence, with one writing, “Elon Musk is there because he has no family to love him.”
Another Twitter user, Jordan Curtis, focused on Musk’s physical appearance, noting that his nose appeared unusually red, joking that he looked like an “Animal Crossing villager” in the family snapshot.
While the absence of Melania Trump remains unexplained, the mix of family and celebrity in the photo has left many speculating about the dynamics within the Trump family, as well as Musk’s growing role in their public life. As of now, neither the Trump family nor Musk have commented on the viral photo or the questions it has raised.
