During this new Trump campaign for the presidency –The elections are in November this year.– The former president admits in an interview that while he was the representative of the executive branch he helped Elon Musk. The North American media is alarmed because it is not clear what specific aid the South African magnate received.
Was it in the space race that you lead with NASA as CEO of SpaceX? Did he receive any benefits or permission for Tesla Motors to operate? Donald Trump did not give details of the matter.
Trump specifically says: “I've been friendly with him over the years. I helped him when he was president. I helped him. I liked him”. He also said that he has recently met with Musk, without being clear what topics were discussed in that meeting.
What do these statements by Donald Trump mean? The former president has repeatedly stated that he does not agree with electric cars, one of Elon Musk's main initiatives through Tesla. However, the former president himself says that despite this difference, both reach a meeting point.
Let us remember that in August 2023, Trump returned to Twitter (now X) after having been banned by the previous administration, that of Jack Dorsey. During that period of absence, the former US president founded his own social network called Truth Social, which in reality has not had much relevance.
So, these recent statements by Trump, throwing flowers at Musk, could be a method of persuasion for Uncle Elon to join the management of Donald's social network or a search for financial support for the final months of the campaign, which They are the most intense in the United States presidential race.
It is not the search for the vote, since judging by Elon Musk's posts on his X account, the CEO of SpaceX is in charge of strongly criticizing Joe Biden.
