The images, taken upon President Donald Trump’s arrival at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, have sparked widespread criticism, with many questioning why a private citizen and his family were aboard the presidential aircraft.

Critics argue that Musk’s presence on Air Force One, along with later photos showing him and his son entering the White House, raises concerns about government spending and Musk’s influence within the Trump administration. The controversy is further fueled by ongoing federal budget cuts under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Political strategist Chris D. Jackson voiced outrage on X, writing, “This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying. WTF is going on?”

The Lincoln Project also criticized the move, stating, “Your tax dollars are paying for the richest man in the world to fly around when he has his own jets. That’s government waste.”

While some defended Musk’s travel, calling him a presidential adviser, others argue that his financial status should exclude him from taxpayer-funded privileges. The Trump administration is expected to face further scrutiny as budget cuts continue across federal agencies.
