Don Jr.’s Girlfriend Allegedly Pursued Elon Musk First, Told Friends She Wanted His Kids

Bettina Anderson and Donald Trump Jr. have made their relationship public, and it has stirred concern inside the Trump circle and plenty of talk outside it.

Friends say Anderson once set her sights on Elon Musk. One person close to her said, “She told me she wanted to have one of Elon’s babies and she thought going after Don Jr would help her get close to Elon.” That claim has followed the couple into public view and become part of how people describe the romance.

The two have been seen together for more than a year. They appear at family gatherings and at Mar a Lago. Anderson has also shown up at Republican events where she sat near members of the first family. Those public moments drew attention and then more attention when the quote about Elon started to circulate.

Not everyone in the family welcomed the match. A family friend was blunt, saying, “Donald Trump does not approve of his son’s association with Bettina.” The same source added, “Bettina’s presence is seen as a liability rather than an asset.” Those lines make clear that some allies see risk in the pairing.

Anderson is not unknown to social pages. She is a Columbia University graduate who has described herself as a “housewife with no chores.” Past stories have linked her to wealthy figures in Florida and elsewhere. That background has shaped how reporters and readers see her role now that she is with Don Jr.

Those who defend Anderson say the motive stories are wrong. Her representatives have pushed back against claims that she is a calculated social climber. They say the relationship is real and personal. Yet the original claim about Musk keeps surfacing, because it is simple and hard to ignore.

To most observers the scene reads like a modern social tale. A woman moves in circles with powerful men. She links to one, then another. The world watches, talks, and files another story. That pattern is familiar enough to make people smile and shake their heads at once.

There is a human side to it too. Public romance brings private life into view. People involved may feel exposed. The couple will have to deal with that, in front of cameras and inside family rooms. Some will cheer. Some will complain. Some will simply scroll on, satisfied with a bit of entertainment.
