The presidential elections are fast approaching, and everything is slowly being prepared. And even from Tesla.

Tesla supports Trump

Indeed, the boss of the American brand is particularly politically engaged and loudly defends his anti-immigration positions. Here’s how the latter just took to social network X (formerly Twitter) to speak on the subject. Without directly mentioning Donald Trump by name, the Tesla and Space X founder made his support for the Republican camp clear. He then stated that the United States had need a “red wave”, which obviously refers to the symbolic color of the party of Donald Trump. According to the leader, without the latter’s return to the post of president, the country would be “screwed up”. At the time, he highlighted the key issues, and in particular, the issue of illegal immigration that has fueled the Republican campaign and is going on even more than ever. However, despite his political commitment, Elon Musk made it clear that he did not provide financial assistance to any of the presidential candidates. And this is even if there are rumors about this topic.

A few years ago I voted 100% Democrat.

Now I think we need a red wave or America is fried.

The Tesla boss obliges

In a recent hour-long interview, Musk discussed his meeting with the former president without explicitly revealing his choice for the November election. He simply said he was distancing himself from Democratic President Joe Biden, leaving the door open to other possibilities. At the time, he said that “a lot can happen between now and the election,” which will be held on November 5. In 2022 Elon Musk initially focused her attention on Ron DeSantis, a candidate in the Republican primary. At the time, he believed that Donald Trump was probably too old to run for president again. However, DeSantis eventually dropped out of the race, leaving the billionaire without a real alternative. Musk also played an unexpected role by reactivating Donald Trump’s Twitter account, which was banned after the storming of the Capitol. He justified the decision by saying that it was intended to “correct a serious mistake” made by the then boss of Twitter.

In conclusion, Elon Musk continues to influence the American political sphere, and his positions generate as much interest as debate.
