Donald Trump's granddaughter Kai has shared a glimpse inside 'Uncle' Elon Musk's SpaceX launch after giving an intimate tour of her grandfather's private plane.
Kai - the 17-year-old daughter of Don Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa - flew to Brownsville, Texas, to watch Elon's Starship rocket launch with her grandfather last week.
The teen documented the trip for her YouTube channel in a new video entitled Watching a Rocket Launch at SpaceX with Elon Musk!, which she shared on Tuesday.
In it, she gave her followers a look into some of the lavish perks that came with being related to the soon-to-be 47th President of the United States - like getting to fly on his jet and mingling with a slew of A-listers.
She traveled from her home in Palm Beach, Florida, to Elon's SpaceX facility in Texas via her grandfather's aircraft, which has been nicknamed Trump Force One, along with one of her friends, Emma.
In the video, Kai showed off the spacious jet.
The main area was filled with comfortable looking couches and flat screen TVs, while a second room contained a king-sized bed.
Kai, who dressed in a SKIMS top, black jeans, and a Louis Vuitton belt, also revealed that there were snacks on board.

Her and her pal goofed off together during the flight, jumping on each other's backs and learning a TikTok dance.
Kai then headed to the front of the plane to sit in the cockpit and watch the landing; a Donald bobble-head was placed on the dashboard.
Upon touching down in Texas, she got into a waiting vehicle, which whisked her away to Elon's SpaceX facility.
Once she got there, she joined other Trump family members including her grandfather, Donald, and dad Don Jr.
She chatted with golfer Bryson DeChambeau ahead of the launch, while her grandpa was seen discussing the rocket with Elon.
Wearing a red MAGA hat and a blue suit, Donald stood with Elon and Republican Senators Ted Cruz, Bill Haggerty, Kevin Cramer, and Rep. Ronny Jackson.
Ultimately, the launch and separation were successful, but the starship booster landing did not go as planned and part of the rocket landed in the Gulf of Mexico and not on the landing pad as anticipated.
'I've never seen something like that, and the noise of it when it was going up was insane,' Kai told the camera afterwards.

At one point, Kai stopped to get some food; guests were served an array of options including bacon
Kai ended the video by hilariously asking the billionaire SpaceX CEO, who she sweetly nicknamed 'Uncle Elon' in a previous post , if he played the shooting video game Fortnite
'Uh no,' he replied. 'But I did play other first-person shooters'
'I asked grandpa, "Would you go in it?" And he goes, "No." He would not volunteer going into space,' she shared.

'What about League?' someone else asked him, to which he said, 'If I start playing League it will damage the space program.'
