Elon Musk First Lady memes show the Twitter owner dressed as a woman and declare him the new Melania to mock him for cozying up to former and future President Donald Trump. Following the election, Musk ingratiated himself among the Trump family and incoming administration so fast that he’s already been a part of a family photo that didn’t include Melania, leading to jokes that he’s going to become her replacement.

The memes began after a rumor circulated that Musk kicked author Stephen King off of Twitter for calling him Trump’s new first lady. These turned out to be false, but that didn’t stop the gag from spreading.

These memes largely consist of Photoshopped or AI-generated images or footage putting Musk in clothing associated with women or making him pregnant. One particularly disturbing example is an AI video of Musk with a large and bare pregnant belly cuddling tenderly with Trump, who holds the other man’s stomach from behind.
