Musk says he has slept in Lincoln bedroom during late nights at White House

Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed that he has slept over at the White House, sharing that he has enjoyed late night ice cream that President Trump recommended he indulge in.

“Sometimes I stay at the White House,” Musk told a small group of reporters at a briefing Wednesday.

When asked where he sleeps, he responded, “The Lincoln bedroom.”

“The president’s, very, very, I guess we’re good friends and we’ll be on Air Force One or Marine One and then he’s like, ‘hey do you want to stay over?’ and I’m like, ‘sure,’” Musk said. “I didn’t request it, to be sure.”

He reiterated that Trump would sometimes ask him where he would be staying that night and he would say he didn’t know or at a friends house.

“Do you want to stay here?” Musk said Trump would ask him. “I was like, sure, okay. And then he gave me a tour of the Lincoln bedroom and… oh, this is cool.”

The billionaire tech entrepreneur has been at the helm of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and has been a constant presence by Trump's side since the night of the president's stunning reelection, joining him one Air Force One and in Cabinet meetings.

Musk's interview with journalists in which he reflected on his time came the same week Trump marked the first 100 days of his second term.

“He’ll actually call at night and say like, ‘by the way make sure you get some ice cream from the kitchen,’” Musk said about Trump when he stays at the White House.

“I ate a whole tub of ice cream… Carmel, Haagen Dazs,” Musk said. “I mean, don’t tell RFK.”

He laughed about his quip on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is working on initiatives to make America healthy.

“He’s actually a very good host,” Musk added about Trump.

Musk’s special government status is set to end May 30 and he has faced pressure from Tesla board members to return to the helm of his company after months in Washington, D.C., leading DOGE. He outlined that the cadence of his time with the White House will decrease to one to two times a week.

“I’m willing to contribute on average, one to two days a week, which, you know, probably means coming to D.C every other week for three days, type of thing. As indefinitely, as long as the president wants me to do it,” Musk said.

When asked how many nights he stayed at the White House, Musk replied, “I don’t know if I should say that number,”

“More than once,” he added.
