Former NFL star Antonio Brown has stayed in the good graces of President-elect Donald Trump by attending his exclusive Mar-a-Lago gala in Florida on Thursday night. Brown posed for a photo with the former and future President and posted it to his account on X. The controversial former Pittsburgh Steeler also posted a group photo where he is standing next to Elon Musk.
Brown has been a consistent supporter of Trump throughout his trio of bids for the White House, including earlier this year, where he and fellow Pittsburgh alumnus Le’Veon Bell got people to sign up to vote in the 2024 election outside a Steelers game.
Brown has not played in the NFL since 2021, where he abruptly quit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the sport in the middle of a game. In addition to attending the Mar-a-Lago gala, Brown has posted his schedule to take people from the Floridian gathering to the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson fight in Dallas on Friday.

Some have been concerned with the online habits of Brown in recent years, including reposting a photo of actress Sydney Sweeney in lingerie and responding with an imitation of Trump doing a sexual act. Brown also has his current online targets, consistently making fun of political commentator Don Lemon and the embattled P Diddy.
‘Amazing to spend time with @elonmusk,’ Brown posted to X. ‘Have a lot of respect for him. He’s changing the world. I may just have to join the (Department of Government Efficiency) team. The Department of Government Efficiency is a new position within the United States federal system being headed by Musk and former Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Brown is not the only person in the sports world to join Trump’s posse with Danica Patrick and Sage Steele also appearing at pro-Trump events.
