During a New Year’s celebration, tech billionaire Elon Musk and President-elect Donald Trump were spotted dancing together to the classic hit "YMCA" at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.
The duo’s dance moves, captured on video, quickly went viral across social media platforms.
The scene unfolded in the grand ballroom of Trump’s luxurious Mar-a-Lago estate, where he and his wife, incoming First Lady Melania Trump hosted a New Year’s gala.
The impromptu dance session between Trump and Musk stole the spotlight.
Trump, known for his signature jerky fist-pumping and side-to-side swaying, did not disappoint as he performed his trademark dance moves while Musk was rather stiff in comparison.
