“Elon Musk doesn’t care about politics in the traditional sense,” said one analyst on a cable news program. “This is about ego, power, and leaving his mark on history. Musk sees Trump as a vehicle for his own vision of the future—a future that involves fewer regulations, more rockets, and a lot more freedom.”
With Musk’s $5 billion now in play, the final stretch of the presidential campaign promises to be unlike anything America has seen before. The two men—one a billionaire tech titan with a flair for the dramatic, the other a former president with an eye on a second term—seem poised to make political history together.
“We’re just getting started,” Musk said as he wrapped up his speech. “This isn’t just about winning an election. This is about changing the course of human history. I’ve sent rockets to space. Now, we’re going to send Trump back to the White House. This feels right.”
As the crowd erupted into chants of “USA! USA!” and “MAGA! MAGA!” it was clear that, for Musk and Trump, the partnership had only just begun.
