Biden Vs. Trump: Elon Musk Says He Won’t Contribute To Either Campaign, But His Social Media Activity Suggests Support For One Over Other
Tesla owner Elon Musk has been actively using his platform on X, formerly known as Twitter, to influence the political landscape in favor of former President Donald Trump and the GOP, it appears.
Although Musk has assured his followers that he won’t make financial contributions to either Trump or President Joe Biden, his continuous and pointed social media activity suggests a different type of support for Trump’s political campaign.
Musk’s posts have ranged from speculating about Biden’s use of Adderall during his State of the Union address to endorsing Trump’s views on immigration and border policies.
This activity marks a significant shift for the tech billionaire, who once claimed to prefer staying out of politics. His engagement on X has been prolific, with around 600 posts this month alone, indicating a clear intent to shape the U.S. political discourse.
Bloomberg reported that this follows Musk’s recent meeting with Trump and other potential donors, as Trump edges closer to securing the Republican nomination for a third consecutive cycle.
