President-elect Trump pulled tech billionaire Elon Musk and his son into a family photo on election night.

The moment can be seen in a recently posted YouTube video titled “Kai Trump Election Night Vlog” from the president-elect’s granddaughter, who notably spoke at the Republican National Convention this year.

Trump is seen in the video taking pictures with family members including his son, Donald Trump Jr., as well as Kai Trump herself.

“We have to get Elon with his boy,” Trump later remarks in the video, adding that the tech billionaire’s son is “gorgeous” and “perfect,” as Musk steps in alongside Trump and his family.

Musky heavily supported Trump in his bid for the presidency, endorsing him following an assassination attempt against the president-elect in July. He also made appearances at rallies for Trump and started America PAC, a pro-Trump super PAC, giving $118 million to the committee.

“The people of America gave @realDonaldTrump a crystal clear mandate for change tonight,” Musk posted on the social platform X last week.

In a victory speech last week, Trump gave a shoutout to Musk.

“We have a new star,” Trump said. “A star is born — Elon!”

Kai Trump also posted a photo with Musk captioned “Elon achieving uncle status” Sunday on X.
