When your “Plan B” is Don Jr.
According to a Daily Beast report that reads like a Palm Beach satire written by capitalist cronyism itself, Bettina Anderson reportedly had her eye on “horsetrading” with Elon Musk before getting engaged to Donald Trump Jr. The alleged strategy involved proximity, ambition, and the sort of social climbing that treats billionaires like interchangeable luxury brands.
Bettina Anderson, 38, was “going for Elon Musk,” before she cozied up to the president’s oldest son, sources told the Daily Mail on Tuesday.
Trump, 47, and Anderson began their whirlwind romance more than a year ago. But before that, the Palm Beach socialite and model reportedly tried to use him to get closer to the Tesla CEO, who at the time was a trusted adviser and friend of President Donald Trump.
…
“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,” a “friend” of Anderson’s told the Mail. “She told several of us this was her ultimate goal.”
Appalingly, after failing to convince Elon to use her as a paid incubator, Don Jr started looking like second prize. However, it seems she’d be better off with steak knives.
Jane Austen couldn’t have come up with this.
I’m sure they deserve each other.
