Elon Musk Breaks Silence: Shocking Endorsement Revealed!

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla and the owner of X, spoke at the Milken Conference 2024 in Beverly Hills, California, on May 6, 2024.

Moments after former President Donald Trump and presumptive Republican nominee was rushed off stage by Secret Service members following gunshots at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Elon Musk posted on X that he “fully” endorses Trump.

“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote on X, which he owns.

Trump was taken to a local medical facility, where he is receiving care. His spokesman stated that the former president “will be fine.” Trump appeared to have blood on the side of his head and ear.

In a separate post, Musk shared a photo of Trump raising his fist with the American flag in the background as Secret Service members scrambled to protect him. Musk also compared Trump to Theodore Roosevelt, who survived an assassination attempt while campaigning for president in 1912.

According to the district attorney in Butler County, where the rally took place, one spectator at the rally is dead, and a second is in serious condition. NBC News confirms that the shooter is dead.

While Musk hadn’t directly endorsed Trump before Saturday’s event, he had made clear his opposition to President Joe Biden’s return to the White House. In a March post, he stated that he was not going to donate money to either presidential candidate.

Musk met with Trump earlier this year at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach and mentioned at Tesla’s 2024 annual shareholder meeting that he has “had some conversations” with Trump. Musk also said at the event that Trump “does call me out of the blue for no reason.”

On Friday, Bloomberg reported that Musk has donated a “sizable” but undisclosed amount to a pro-Trump super PAC called America PAC.

Musk is the wealthiest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of about $250 billion, according to Forbes.
