Ivanka Trump praised her own work for American families in a farewell message as a bitter Don Jr compared Joe Biden to Uncle Scar from Disney's The Lion King.
Members of the Trump family, who still have access to their main social media accounts unlike the outgoing president, signed off after four tumultuous years in the White House.
While the president's daughter highlighted herself on Twitter, her elder brother took a bizarre shot at the president-elect on Instagram stories, in what appeared to be an attempt to undermine president-elect Biden's presidential win.
"Remember in the Lion King when Scar cheated to win the title as king? And the pride land was overrun with the hyenas?" posted Don Jr.
"And all of the lions lost everything they had built and maintained? Just asking. No reason."
Ivanka wished Joe Biden "courage and strength" and said that she was "excited for the future" as she leaves Washington DC for Florida.
"It has been the honour of a lifetime to serve our nation as an advisor to the president. I am so proud of what we have accomplished and excited for the future," she wrote.
Observers speculate that Ms Trump could run for office, with suggestions she may go up against Florida Senator Marco Rubio in the 2022 primaries.
"The last four years have been an incredible journey. In travelling to nearly every American state and dozens of countries, I fell even more deeply in love with the American people," Ivanka also wrote.
Ms Trump and husband Jared Kushner will not return to their hometown of New York City when their roles end on Wednesday.
Instead, they have signed a deal to lease a luxurious condominium in Miami, after spending $30 million for a plot of land on the exclusive Indian Creek "Billionaire Bunker" island.
On the eve of Mr Trump's departure, Don Jr posted a picture on Instagram of his father hugging the American flag.
"Thanks dad! America owes you a debt of gratitude," he wrote.
The president's middle son, Eric Trump, posted a photo of himself with his father behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office to Instagram on Wednesday morning.
"It has truly been a beautiful journey...," he wrote.
Other Trump associates posted their own farewell messages. Adviser Stephen Miller, architect of some of Trump's most reviled polices on immigration including the travel ban and family separation, sent a going away note to his colleagues.
Shared by Washington Post White House correspondent Josh Dawsey, it read: "Fellow patriots - As we conclude our four years together in this hallowed home, I join you in taking immense pride and profound satisfaction in all that we have achieved for our country."
He went on to say that "this is not goodbye".
"I have no doubt we will very soon be fighting side-by-side together once more," he wrote.

I didn't hear anything about the kids getting pardons.
Daddy could not pardon himself so he won't do it for his kids.
Even funnier than that.
Trump's remaining lawyers lied to him about the pardons to himself and his family.
Truth is that you do not have to list specific crimes. Nixon was pardoned of all non-specified federal crimes between 2 dates, by Gerald Ford. Trump could have done the same for his kids, and "TRIED" for himself as well.
Cippilone's revenge I guess, for having his name associated with Trump.
Don't know, but I sure got a laugh from the article.
Somebody knows which way the wind is blowing.
I don't ever want to hear from them again.
I didn't realize that Ivanka had done anything. Can someone fill me in?
she was a little skimpy with the details, wasn't she?
She sold some handbags.
She violated The Hatch Act at least 8 times.
"Remember in the Lion King when Scar cheated to win the title as king? And the pride land was overrun with the hyenas?" posted Don Jr.
"And all of the lions lost everything they had built and maintained? Just asking. No reason."
What is he, 9 years old ?
Remember when Capone thought he was pretty sneaky not getting busted? When the feds could not touch him with the charges they wanted, they figured out a way...tax evasion. It might not have been a fireworks event, but it had teeth.
4 years older than his dad.
