Elon Musk officially endorses Donald Trump, compares him to Theodore Roosevelt

"I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," states Elon Musk on X.

Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and a prominent tech entrepreneur, has publicly declared his support for former President Donald Trump, drawing a bold historical parallel by comparing him to Theodore Roosevelt. 

This endorsement came in the aftermath of a dramatic incident at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, where despite a threatening situation, Trump appeared unharmed and defiant.

Musk made his endorsement known through a series of posts on X, his social media platform. 

His initial post was straightforward and supportive: "I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery." 

He followed up with a more detailed commendation, evoking the image of historical resilience by stating, "Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt."

This public endorsement signifies a notable shift in Musk's political alignment, which has increasingly leaned rightward over recent years. 

Previously a donor to Democratic campaigns, Musk has voiced his disapproval of the current administration's policies under President Joe Biden, criticizing various initiatives from diversity efforts to immigration policies.

Musk's alignment with Trump provides a significant boost to Trump's campaign as he eyes the presidency in the upcoming November 5 election. 

With Musk's vast following on X, his endorsement has the potential to reach and influence millions of voters instantly. 

Moreover, this move could reconfigure political and business dynamics as Musk continues to hold substantial sway in tech and automotive industries.

The endorsement also revitalizes the relationship between two figures who have had a tumultuous past, with Trump previously criticizing Musk for his political and business decisions.

However, recent developments indicate a warming of relations, highlighted by Trump's acknowledgment of Musk's "incredible job with Tesla" and Musk's praise of Trump's enthusiasm for Tesla's electric pickup trucks.
