Elon Musk , the billionaire CEO of Tesla, publicly endorsed Donald Trump for the first time in the U.S. presidential race, calling the Republican former president "tough."
"I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," Musk posted on his social media platform X.The posts cement Musk's shift towards right-wing politics and hand Trump a high-profile backer in his quest to return to the White House in the Nov. 5 election. The South African-born businessman's sway stands to benefit Trump, since Musk has one of the largest footprints on X with 189.5 million followers, meaning his posts can instantaneously spread widely.
However, in the last few years, Musk has espoused right-wing views, becoming a fierce critic of diversity initiatives, Biden's immigration policies and complaining that Democrats had given a "very cold shoulder" to Tesla and rocket company SpaceX.
