For any Republican jockeying for a spot in the next Trump administration, there’s only one place to be: Palm Beach, Fla.

President-elect Trump has spent his post election days at his Mar-a-Lago resort, taking meetings strategizing over how to fill out his administration and what he’ll accomplish the first 100 days in office. Republicans have flocked to the GOP-epicenter to be a part of the action. For example:

Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO who likely won’t even have a job in the White House. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reports that Musk has been seen at Mar-a-Lago nearly every day since Trump won. They’ve had meals together, golfed together — and Musk has even been in the room during some of Trump’s calls with world leaders.
