Musk was at the opening of Notre Dame as a VIP guest, – CNN Irina Chebotnikova

On Saturday, December 7, the world celebrated the opening of Notre Dame Cathedral . It took five years to restore it, and many politicians were invited to the grand opening. Musk was among them.

This was reported by Channel 24, citing CNN. There were 40 world leaders at the celebrations. Now the cathedral will hospitably welcome 15 million visitors annually, compared to 12 million before the fire.

Musk attended the opening ceremony of Notre Dame Cathedral

Technology billionaire Elon Musk arrived at Notre Dame Cathedral to take part in the opening ceremony. He is one of the VIP guests invited along with some religious figures and world leaders, including newly elected President Donald Trump, the journalists reported.

And indeed, Musk could be seen in the hall during the ceremony. He approached Trump, but was mostly on his own.

It was not for nothing that Macron was constantly near Trump

Those who followed the broadcast could notice how often the elected president of America was near Macron. Trump entered the hall very hesitantly, but then pulled himself together and held Macron's hand for a long time, saying something to him. Subsequently, the future head of the United States passed by other leaders, including Zelensky, talking to them as well.

After the Macrons entered the cathedral, Trump was seated between them. And in his speech, the French president quite symbolically noted unity, fraternity and mutual assistance.

All who had a hand in the restoration, you all gave us an example to show what great nations can do. This cathedral was also a happy metaphor for what a nation is and what the fraternity of a people should be like, confident that it can make great choices. Notre Dame tells us that our wildest dreams can be realized. This cathedral reminds us that we are the heirs of something greater than we are, he said.

Probably, Macron sent a signal to Trump: Europe is glad to see you, but you must also be conscious in your actions.

Interesting! Unlike other politicians, Trump was not wearing a black jacket, but a dark blue one. Since his tie was yellow, the Internet saw this as a good sign for Ukraine.
