Elon Musk A Surprise Attendee At Notre Dame Cathedral Reopening In Paris


Musk has adopted a prominent and highly noticeable position alongside Trump since the Republican secured re-election in the United States on November 5. Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally and one of Donald Trump's most trusted associates, made an unexpected visit on Saturday at the event commemorating the reopening of Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.


The chief executive of Tesla, SpaceX, and the social media platform X arrived in the afternoon at Le Bourget airport, located to the north of Paris, which is commonly utilized by private jets, as stated by an airport source who requested anonymity.


Musk was later present for the ceremony inside the cathedral on Saturday evening to celebrate its reopening after the devastating fire in 2019. His participation had not been previously disclosed.


He captured a photograph of the cathedral's grand doors before entering and also engaged in conversation within the cathedral with Trump, who occupied a seat in the front row. Musk has adopted a prominent and highly noticeable position alongside Trump since the Republican secured re-election in the United States on November 5.


He contributed at least $270 million to fund Trump's campaign and relocated to the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida following election day while the new White House team was being organized.


The two have attended an Ultimate Fighting Championship event in New York, along with witnessing the launch of one of Musk’s SpaceX rockets.


Trump has appointed the South African-born businessman and fellow supporter Vivek Ramaswamy to head the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency," a committee expected to propose methods for reducing federal expenditures by billions of dollars.


Considering that Musk's enterprises are subject to regulations and secure contracts from the US government, his involvement has sparked concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest.


Trump accepted the invitation from French President Emmanuel Macron to participate in the reopening of Notre Dame cathedral, occurring over five years after it was severely damaged by a fire.


He engaged with Macron at the Elysee Palace in Paris on Saturday, revitalizing a relationship that often experienced strain during Trump's initial term in office.


The president-elect has proposed several individuals close to Musk for positions in his upcoming administration, including investor David Sacks as the so-called "AI and crypto czar."
