A video of President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk performing Trump’s signature “YMCA” dance at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve has gone viral, delighting supporters and sparking conversations about their dynamic partnership.
The video shows Trump and Musk, both in tuxedos, enthusiastically mimicking the arm-pumping dance moves to the Village People classic, joined by incoming First Lady Melania Trump swaying to the beat. Trump’s humorous, simplistic dance routine has become a fan favorite, often emulated by athletes during celebrations in sports like college football, the NFL, and UFC.
The viral moment underscored Musk’s influence as a close advisor to Trump, who will take office in three weeks. Musk, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, has been tapped to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a role that positions him at the forefront of Trump’s administrative plans.
Their shared stance on issues like the H-1B visa program has sparked debate. While Musk supports foreign workers to meet tech industry demands, critics argue the program often prioritizes non-U.S. citizens over American workers. Trump, siding with Musk, reaffirmed his support for the program, emphasizing its importance to industries like SpaceX and Tesla.
During the New Year’s Eve celebration, Trump reflected on a triumphant 2024 and expressed optimism for the coming year. “We’re going to bring it back. People are going to respect us a lot,” he told reporters, highlighting progress made in recent weeks.
Asked about his New Year’s resolutions, Trump simply said, “I just want people to be happy, healthy, and well.”
The celebration marked the end of a pivotal year for Trump, solidifying alliances with figures like Musk while energizing his base. Despite reports of alleged friction between the two, former aide Hogan Gidley dismissed the rumors, calling them “media fabrications.”
As the video continues to circulate online, it serves as a symbolic start to Trump’s new term, with supporters rallying behind his promise to “bring it back” in 2025.
