What Does FBOTUS Mean in a Text?

The Quick Answer

FBOTUS means "First Buddy of the United States."

More Details

The abbreviation FBOTUS is a play on the acronym POTUS, which means President of the United States. The term "First Buddy of the United States" has been used informally in various contexts:

• Presidential Pets: It has sometimes been associated with pets of US Presidents. For example, President Bill Clinton's chocolate Labrador Retriever, named Buddy, was often referred to as the "First Buddy."
• Elon Musk: Following reports of Elon Musk frequently meeting with President-elect Donald Trump after the November 2024 election, CNN correspondent Gloria Borger referred to Musk as the "First Buddy." Musk embraced the term, responding on social media, "I'm happy to be first buddy! 😂."
• Steve Bannon: Bannon was very close to Trump before Trump's first term as president. However, the pair fell out shortly after the 2017 inauguration. In 2025, following reports of a clash between Bannon and Musk over H-1B visas, we decided that Bannon should be considered the "former FBOTUS"!

In the same way, the Vice President (VP) is referred to as VPOTUS and the spouse of the VP is referred to as SGOTUS (Second Gentleman of the United States) or SLOTUS (Second Lady of the United States).
