Trump Jr.’s Girlfriend Allegedly Tried to Date Elon Musk Before Him, Sources Say
Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, was reportedly aiming for billionaire Elon Musk before her romance with the president’s son took off, a claim that’s now sparking chatter as the couple announces their engagement.
According to friends quoted by the Daily Mail via The Daily Beast, Anderson once told acquaintances she wanted to have a child with Musk and thought dating Trump Jr. might be her path to him.
The couple first made headlines in 2024 when their relationship became public following Trump Jr.’s split from Kimberly Guilfoyle. Since then, they’ve appeared together at high-profile events and built a public profile in conservative social circles.
But the backstory about Anderson’s alleged intentions toward Musk comes only from unnamed sources to the Daily Mail, a gossip outlet known for sensational reporting and has not been verified by major news organizations.
“She told me she wanted to have one of Elon’s babies…” one friend claimed, according to the report.

What remains unclear is whether the earlier claims about Anderson’s intentions toward Musk played any role in her decision to pursue Trump Jr. or how critics of the couple will react as they prepare for their future together. Stay tuned for responses from all sides, including any statements from Anderson or Musk’s representatives on the earlier allegations.
