Elon Musk plans to turn popular DC hotel into his own Mar-A-Lago near Donald Trump

International news
Elon Musk is reportedly considering purchasing the Line Hotel in D.C. to create a private social club, coinciding with Trump's inauguration.

Elon Musk seems to have his sights set on Washington, D.C. but not just for government contracts. The billionaire mogul is reportedly eyeing the Line Hotel, a trendy property in the Adams Morgan neighbourhood, with plans to transform it into a “private social club,” according to the Washington Examiner. The report surfaces just days ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20th.

The Line Hotel, which opened in 2017, was once the go-to spot for D.C.’s trendsetters. However, after failing to meet financial expectations, the 220-room hotel is now up for auction. The Tesla owner, who has reportedly set his sights on the property, could transform it into something similar to Trump's Mar-a-Lago, a place where business and politics intersect.

It is unclear what purpose this hotel would serve if purchased by Musk. However, with the tech giant’s role as co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the location could potentially serve as his headquarters, placing him close to Trump and his administration.
