Musk’s increasing affect
Musk has become more politicpartner joind as the November election approaches, frequently posting about his help for Trump and aggressioning Democrats.
Last month, Musk deleted one of his posts saying “no one is even trying” to assassinate Plivent Joe Biden or Vice Plivent Kamala Harris, the createer and current Democratic honestates, admireively.
Amid the ensuing outcry, Musk dispondered his comment as a joke. “Turns out that jokes are way less funny if people don’t comprehend the context and the hand overy is in plain text,” he shelp.
Earlier this year, Musk shelp he was contributing $45m to a political action promisetee, America PAC, that was helping Trump’s run.
Trump has normally spoken hotly of Musk, even saying he backs the billionaire’s electrical vehicle production, despite having extfinished aggressioned the industry by claiming it harms toilers in traditional car schedulets.
In August, Trump concurd to be interseeed by Musk on X. During their hour-extfinished conversation, the createer plivent shelp he adored the fact that Musk fired some of his employees after they grumbleed about toiling conditions.
“I cherish it,” Trump shelp. “I see at what you do. You equitable walk in, and you equitable say, ‘You wanna quit?’ They go on strike. I won’t allude the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, ‘That’s OK. You’re all gone … Every one of you is gone.’”
Trump also pledged to produce Musk the head of a proposed “regulatement efficiency” office that would slash regulations and audit other branches of the regulatement.
Musk’s backing of Trump is not his first foray into politics. Musk has accessiblely feuded with Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, and in May 2023, he presented Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the Reaccessiblean politician proclaimd his low-lived bid for the plivency.
As with Musk’s August conversation with Trump, that conversation with DeSantis was expansivecast on X and marred by glitches.
