LOS ANGELES.–Mega-billionaire entrepreneur Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, 53, was slammed for appearing at 78-year-old former President Donald Trump Butler, Pa., rally yesterday, all because Democrats and the press can’t handle his endorsement of Trump. It’s OK for rocker Bruce Springsteen and pop icon Taylor Swift to endorse 59-year-old Vice President Kamala Harris but Democrats and the press rail against Musk’s endorsement of Trump. As far as endorsements go, Musk carries a lot more weight with voters than Springsteen or Swift, knowing how many people admire his contributions to fighting climate change and restoring U.S.-manned space operations, something lost when the Space Shuttle retired in 2011. Musk is universally admired for starting the Electric Vehicle [EV] revolution with such notable car companies as Mercedes and BMW following Musk’s lead.
Musk was especially honored to appear with Trump at the exact spot where an assassin’s bullet grazed Trump’s ear July 13 and nearly took his life. Musk remembers well the Secret Service blanketing a bloodied Trump with his fist in the air, saying, “fight, fight, fight.” Musk said at the rally that Trump showed extraordinary courage in the “land of the free and home of the brave,” something July 13 that inspired Musk to endorse Trump. “Don’t you want someone brave as president?” Musk asked the large audience, all screaming, “yes.” Trump has a mutual admiration society going with Musk, knowing the importance of his endorsement, when you consider Kamala runs campaign ads using Special Counsel Jack Smith’s recent filings, saying Trump committed various crimes on Jan 6. Kamala doesn’t tell her audience that evidence against Trump is all fabricated.
Democrats and the press went after Musk when he bought the Social Media giant Twitter in 2022, something he did to save the U.S. free press. Musk figured out the legacy media actually has a monopoly on the Free Press in the United State, frequently saying the propaganda and disinformation comes from Russia sources. If you look at the preponderance of fake information circulating on major news sites, it’s far greater than anything on the Internet or Social Media sites. U.S. press, broadcast and print, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, with not one legacy media company, like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, backing Trump. Only Fox News shows any balance in showing any interest in the Trump campaign. All legacy media back Kamala.
Yet the legacy media are threatened by Musk because they know he’s not biased, has no dog in the fight, only wants what’s best for the country in terms of the economy and foreign policy. Musk would not have endorsed Trump if he felt for one second he would not be better for the country than Kamala. When it comes to all of Kamala’s various endorsements, none carries the credibility of Musk. Legacy media felt inclined to attack Musk for attending Trump’s Butler, Pa. rally, showing the kind of on-stage exuberance drawing criticism from various sources, suggesting Musk looked like an impetuous child. Musk isn’t allowed show his humanity, he’s supposed to act like an Artificial Intelligence automaton, not human. Musk was swept up in the moment of appearing with Trump to the scene of an assassination attempt that nearly took Trump’s life.
Democrats and the press despise Musk because he’s the richest man in the world because his aggregate businesses and investments are so successful. Musk prefers to stay out of politics but knows that his endorsement means something in such a close campaign. Democrats can’t go after Musk directly knowing it would backfire. But they know they despise the fact that Musk owns the Twitter Platform, now called X, that allows anyone in the most democratic way to express their opinions without censorship. Musk has been censored in the mainstream press using his X platform to give ordinary citizens the opportunity to speak. Legacy media only allows the politically correct crowd to have use of their airwaves or pages in print outlets. Democrat don’t like the fact that Musk directs millions in donations to one of Trump super pacs, knowing his cash is used for pro-Trump ads.
Democrats and the press try to make fun of Musk’s enthusiasm for being on stage with Trump at his Butler, Pa. rally. Whether Musk was offered a Cabinet position or some other job by Trump in a new White House is anyone’s guess. What’s known for sure is that Musk believes that Trump would make a far better president than Kamala Harris. Musk doesn’t like the unending Ukraine War that could take the country and world toward WW III. Musk sees no reason the conflict could not be settled at the peace table. Musk thinks it would be a good thing for the U.S. and Russia to restore cooperative diplomatic relations. Musk has good relations with the Chinese government and would like to see U.S. get along better with China. All the talk of going to war against Beijing over Taiwan concerns Musk, also a sound reason for backing Trump. Democrats and the press dislike of Musk is real.
