Donald Trump attends SpaceX Launch in south Texas alongside Elon Musk and granddaughter Kai

Donald Trump has touched down at the SpaceX headquarters in Boca Chica, Texas, ahead of Elon Musks largest launch yet. 

The company is expected to launch its biggest rocket to date and the president-elect has tagged along with his new buddy Musk to watch the event unfold. 

The company is set to conduct its sixth launch of its Starship rocket - the largest ever made. 

Lift off is scheduled to occur around 5:00 p.m. ET. 

I’m heading to the Great State of Texas to watch the launch of the largest object ever to be elevated, not only to Space, but simply by lifting off the ground, Trump posted on social media ahead of the journey to south Texas. 

Scores of adoring MAGA fans waved pro-Trump flags along the president-elects motorcade route to the Palm Beach International Airport ahead of his departure to SpaceXs headquarters called Starbase.

Good luck to Elon Musk and the Great Patriots involved in this incredible project!

Trump and Musk were joined at the launch by Sens. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Ted Cruz of Texas and Bill Hagerty of Tennessee. Trumps old White House Physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, was also in attendance.

Trumps son Donald Trump Jr. and granddaughter Kai Trump were also spotted at the SpaceX campus.

The group of MAGAvengers were pictured listening intently as Musk explained how the 396-foot starship will make it off the ground. 

The journey to visit Musks company highlights Trump and his burgeoning relationship - and the Republicans growing fascination with space exploration.

Trump repeatedly mentioned Musk and his amazing space-related feats on the campaign trail. 

Did you see the way that sucker landed today? Trump said in early October lauding one of SpaceXs recent launchings and subsequent landings. 

It only needs a new paint job, he remarked of the burnt exterior of the rocket that was engulfed in flames upon reentering the earths atmosphere. 

Thats a lot cheaper than building a new one, right?

At another rally in October, Trump again complimented the X owner.  

Elon is a great guy, he’s one of our geniuses. We have to protect our geniuses and we have to take care of our geniuses. There aren’t too many of them, Trump said in late October. 

He often exclaimed how impressed he was with how the company was able to engineer rockets that could be caught after hurdling back to Earth.

The Tesla CEO spent significant time in swing states campaigning for the president-elect and began a PAC worth millions to support the reelection effort. 

For his loyalty and support Trump recently appointed Musk, along with entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, to lead his newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

On Wednesday Trump showed his support for his loyal buddy by attending Musks most consequential launch to date.  

Trump took a fly around the launch site on his plane Trump Force One ahead of landing to watch the launch. 

A video posted by Trump aide Margo Martin shows the plane circling two launch towers edged up against the Gulf of Mexico preparing the rockets for take off.
