President-elect Donald Trump will meet President Joe Biden at the White House in the long-serving tradition of discussing the transfer of power. It is a momentous occasion because Trump publicly refused to see Biden after the 2020 election.
Billionaire Elon Musk, whom Trump’s cabinet will soon welcome, accompanied the president-elect on his trip to Washington, D.C. What added star power to this visit was Musk.
