Elon Musk Endorses Donald Trump After Rally Shooting Incident

In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, took to his social media platform X to announce his full endorsement of former President Donald Trump moments after Trump was rushed off stage at a rally in Pennsylvania due to gunshots. Musk expressed his support for Trump’s rapid recovery and shared a photo of the former president pumping his fist with the American flag behind him.

The incident at the rally resulted in one spectator being killed and another in serious condition, with the shooter confirmed dead by NBC News. Despite not publicly endorsing Trump before, Musk had been vocal about his opposition to President Joe Biden’s administration. He had previously stated that he would not donate to either candidate for president.

Musk’s endorsement comes after reports that he has donated a significant amount to a pro-Trump super PAC called America PAC. With an estimated net worth of $250 billion, Musk is currently the wealthiest person in the world, according to Forbes.

The billionaire entrepreneur had met with Trump earlier in the year and mentioned having conversations with him. Musk’s sudden endorsement of Trump has sparked speculation and interest in his political affiliations and future actions.
