From The Hill:

The former president’s announcement comes just days after he hosted internet influencer Adin Ross at his Mar-a-Lago residence as he works to keep online buzz churning around his campaign for a second term in the White House.

Musk is the owner of social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, and has a history of boosting conservative content creators and conspiracy theories.

The tech mogul late last month scaled down his commitment to donate tens of millions of dollars to Trump’s campaign per month, saying he plans to give “at a much lower level.”

In an interview with Lex Fridman, Elon Musk explained why he endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“What’s your philosophy behind that endorsement? What do you hope Donald Trump does for the future of this country and for the future of humanity?” Fridman asked.

“I thought Trump displayed courage under fire, objectively. He just got shot. He’s got blood streaming down his face, and he’s fist pumping, saying ‘fight.’ That’s impressive. You can’t feign bravery in a situation like that,” Musk said.

“I think you want someone who is strong and courageous to represent the country,” he continued.

“But on balance, and certainly at the time, it was a choice of Biden. Poor guy has trouble climbing a flight of stairs, and the other one is fist pumping after getting shot. This is no comparison. I mean who do you want dealing with some of the toughest people and other world leaders who are pretty tough themselves?” Musk explained.

“I think we want a secure border. We don’t have a secure border,” he noted.

“We want safe and clean cities,” he added.

“I think we want to reduce the amount of spending we’re, at least, slow down the spending because we’re currently spending at a rate that is bankrupting the country,” he continued.

“I think we’ve got to reduce the size of government, we’ve got to reduce the spending, and we’ve got to live within our means,” he said.

“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk previously said.
