In a surprising move, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has openly declared his support for Donald Trump, the Democratic flagbearer in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Musk took to X, the social media platform he owns, to express his endorsement, making several posts in support of Trump. This marks a notable political statement from the billionaire entrepreneur, who has typically remained neutral in past elections.
The Tesla CEO also attended a Democratic rally in Pennsylvania, where he took the stage to encourage eligible U.S. citizens to register and participate in the election. “It’s crucial that everyone exercises their right to vote,” Musk emphasized during his speech.
Musk’s endorsement of Trump is expected to fuel discussions as the election race heats up, especially given the businessman’s significant influence on both the tech and political landscapes.
