Eater ^ | Jan 17, 2025 | Tierney Plumb

In huge pre-inauguration news, tech titan Elon Musk is slated to be the highest bidder on D.C.’s trendy Line hotel. The recently inducted member of President-elect Donald Trump’s billionaire boys club plans to turn the desirable Northwest digs with 220 rooms into a “private social club” of sorts, according to multiple sources familiar with the deal.

A previously announced public auction for the former church-turned-posh property (1770 Euclid Street NW) is scheduled for Thursday, January 23 — just three days after Musk’s BFF reassumes power in the same city. Musk is poised to lead the newly coined Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) once Trump moves back into the White House.

Other outlets are calling it a plan to make his own "Mar-a-Lago" of sorts.

Musk’s security will have to constantly sweep for bugs.

Hey Liz. A magnificent building there... Just about anything Musk does is exciting. He drops a couple of “truth bombs” on Starmer in the UK, and he busts wide open the Pakistani rape terror so the whole world can see.

Can’t wait to see what he does with DOGE. It’s a thrill to have this guy on the MAGA team. Wow.

“I hope Trump sends his decorators over there.”

Ew. Not everyone likes the gaudy French whorehouse look.

Absolute agree. Love Trump but he has tacky taste in decor.

His apartment at Trump Tower was embarrassingly gaudy. I was shocked that Melania didn't give him a lesson in good taste. Perhaps she tried...and failed.;-)

To some degree, that decor represents the man. Trump doesn't do "understated". Rush Limbaugh was similar, at least in his New York digs, despite his Midwest upbringing.
