Elon Musk’s reaction to the possibility of Joe Biden running for president again in 2028 is making waves on social media.
The tech billionaire responded to a post on X, previously known as Twitter, which Musk acquired in 2022 and rebranded.
On July 14, user @Richard_Harambe jokingly suggested in a post that if Trump wins, Biden could still run in 2028. This post garnered over 3 million views and caught Musk’s attention. Musk simply responded with a laughing emoji, which has now received over 95,000 views.
Over the weekend, Musk publicly announced his support for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, a shift from his previous stance of remaining neutral. This endorsement came after a thwarted assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The gunman fired at Trump during the rally, injuring him and causing chaos. Amidst the incident, Musk shared his endorsement and hopes for Trump’s speedy recovery on X.
Following the news, Musk shared a video of Trump post-attack, showing the ex-president with blood on his face but defiantly raising his fist. Musk continued to voice his support for Trump on social media.
There were reports that Musk planned to donate substantial funds monthly to support Trump’s campaign through a political action committee, but Musk denied these claims on X, calling them “fake news.” Despite pushback from The Wall Street Journal, Musk stuck to his denial.
Previously critical of Trump, Musk withdrew from White House councils in 2017 due to policy differences, particularly on climate issues. Musk, known for his efforts in sustainability through Tesla, has been outspoken about his disapproval of Trump’s decisions.
Musk has also publicly criticized Joe Biden, labeling him a puppet of the far left and pointing out flaws in his policies on immigration and healthcare. Musk has shown consistency in his criticisms of Biden’s age and leadership style.
In recent times, Musk has taken on an “anti-woke” stance, expressing concerns about the influence of woke culture, which he attributes to a change in perspective following his daughter’s gender transition. Musk has been vocal about rejecting this ideology in his public appearances and writings.
