Donald Trump brushed aside Democratic efforts to paint Elon Musk as wielding excessive power, instead praising the SpaceX founder's contributions to his campaign and national initiatives. Trump, responding to Democrats who jokingly dubbed Musk 'President Musk', highlighted Musk's technological achievements, electoral support, and assistance in disaster relief.
Last week, after Musk helped gin up political opposition to a government funding measure, Democrats dubbed him “President Musk” and seemingly angled to exploit his and Trump’s egos to pit them against each other.
But Trump declined to take the bait Sunday and instead heaped praise on Musk, crowing about how the SpaceX founder’s company caught its Starship super heavy lift rocket with Mechazilla in October at Starbase. Musk rankled Democrats and even some Republicans last week when he publicly assailed a compromise measure intended to prevent a government shutdown.
