The objection was overruled, and Musk spent several nights in the Lincoln Bedroom, according to the book Regime Change and later reporting.
- First Lady Melania Trump initially objected to Elon Musk staying overnight at the White House, but President Donald Trump overruled her objection, allowing Musk to spend several nights in the Lincoln Bedroom, according to the book Regime Change.
- Journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan revealed these details in Regime Change, which reconstructs how Musk's alliance with Trump was built while describing his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency as "unhinged."
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles felt Musk had a "strangeness" to him, while cabinet secretaries believed he had "dramatically overreached" into their agencies, creating internal tensions throughout the administration.
