Musk and Trump are in Brownsville for SpaceX launch
Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump are in Brownsville, Texas, for a SpaceX launch.
TV footage showed Trump wearing a Make America Great Again baseball cap as Musk was speaking with the president-elect and other attendees. Donald Trump Jr. and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz were among those in Brownsville to see the SpaceX launch.
Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty, who is under consideration to be Trump’s nominee for Treasury Secretary, also attended the launch. He stood near the president-elect and Musk.
The senator visited Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach over the weekend to interview for a variety of roles. Hagerty ran his own eponymous private equity and investment firm and has served on the boards of directors of several companies before re-entering politics.
Co-chair of the Trump transition Linda McMahon, who CNN previously reported is expected to be named as secretary of the Department of Education, also attended the SpaceX launch with Trump where the two posed for a picture.
SpaceX launched Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, on its sixth test flight from South Texas.
