After the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Elon Musk assured him of his “full support”. Now Trump has announced an interview with him.
Shortly after the failed assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump (78), controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk (53) made it clear on July 14 in a post on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) which side he is on in the upcoming presidential election. Next to a video of the assassination attempt, he wrote: “I fully support President Trump and hope for his speedy recovery.”
Only a few days after this post, the Wall Street Journal claimed to have learned that Musk wants to support his favorite presidential candidate not only with words, but also with a monthly sum of 45 million dollars – which Musk immediately rejected on X and called “fake news”.
Trump’s sudden love of electric cars
However, it is not false news that the Tesla boss’s explicit support already seems to be having an impact on his political agenda. As the magazine “Business Insider” reported yesterday, August 6, Trump, previously known as an opponent of electromobility, suddenly spoke out in favor of promoting electric cars at a rally in Atlanta. “I am for electric cars. I have to be, because Elon has clearly taken my side,” he said there. And added: “So I have no other choice.”
Interview on Monday eagerly awaited
After the nomination of Kamala Harris (59) as the new presidential candidate of the US Democrats, Trump can use any support from prominent personalities. Against this background, he has now announced a “big interview” with the friendly tech billionaire for next Monday evening (July 12) on his own social media platform “Truth Social”. More details about the conversation will follow.
