The close relationship between Elon and Kushner is a mystery because Jared's father-in-law, Trump, has trust issues with the tech billionaire.

"Where did you hear that before? From me.
"He’s got himself a mess.
"You know he said the other day, ‘Oh, I’ve never voted for a Republican.’
"I said, ‘I didn’t know that. He told me he voted for me.’
"So, he’s another bull***t artist."
In the end, the tech giant acquired Twitter for $44billion and is now the sole executive.
Trump's sour comments followed Elon's announcement showing his political support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis should he run for the 2024 presidential election.
The fractured relationship also runs deeper after Trump's daughter, Ivanka, misconstrued a controversial tweet from the Tesla boss.
In May, he tweeted "Take the red pill."
The phrase originates from The Matrix, however it has recently been linked with people who have an ideological leaning towards conservatism.
Ivanka Trump retweeted "Taken."
The comments caused a stir on Twitter, but Elon soon clarified the situation in an interview with The New York Times, claiming Ivanka took it the wrong way.
He said: "No, it's just: Accept reality as it is as opposed to what you wish it were.
";I think [Ivanka Trump] was interpreting it through more of a political lens then it was intended."
Ivanka has long championed the SpaceX boss.
