Others, however, weren’t so thrilled. “First Musk buys Twitter—I mean X—and now he’s endorsing Trump? What’s next, a Tesla with MAGA bumper stickers?” wrote @WokeInTheWest, echoing the sentiments of many who viewed Musk’s endorsement as a betrayal of his forward-thinking, progressive image.
Meanwhile, Musk’s own X account lit up with responses, as he playfully engaged with the chaos, tweeting, “Disruption is the key to progress. Don’t worry, space liberals, I’ve still got my eyes on Mars.”
But if Musk’s critics were hoping he might backtrack or soften his stance, they were sorely mistaken. The billionaire made it clear that this wasn’t just a passing whim. He sees Trump as the leader who can help bring America back to a state of “bold action” and “unapologetic innovation.”
Political analysts have been quick to weigh in on Musk’s sudden foray into high-stakes endorsement politics. Is this a calculated move designed to align himself with a future Trump administration, one that might look favorably on his ambitious space projects and anti-regulation stance? Or is this just another example of Musk being Musk, stirring the pot and keeping his name in the headlines?
