President-elect Donald Trump baffled users on social media with a new post either promoting a New Year’s Eve bash at his Palm Beach residence, Mar-a-Lago, or asking about someone’s whereabouts, possibly Elon Musk.
Trump wrote, “Where are you? When are you coming to the “Center of the Universe,” Mar-a-Lago. Bill Gates asked to come, tonight. We miss you and x! New Year’s Eve is going to be AMAZING!!! DJT”
“X” is the name of Elon Musk’s youngest child, who has been by the tech billionaire’s side throughout much of his time advising the Trump transition.

The social media post got immediate attention for Trump’s apparent claim that Microsoft founder and tech billionaire Bill Gates had requested to visit Mar-a-Lago, which would make him the next in a series of tech mogul to have visited with Trump in Palm Beach since his election. Gates, who backed Vice President Kamala Harris with a private $50 million donation in the 2024 election, congratulated Trump after his win.
Trump’s message appears to be constructed in a manner that indicates it was intended as a private message, perhaps to Musk.
“We miss you and x!” is the only curious clue that suggests this is a message for Musk, who is currently embroiled in something of an internecine fight with MAGA influencers over H1-B visas and alleged American mediocrity.
