Hello everyone, welcome back. Today, we bring you some fascinating news.
Former President Donald Trump has recently announced a “major interview” with the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk. This exciting development was shared on Truth Social, a platform launched by Trump himself.
This interview is scheduled for Monday night, so make sure to mark it on your calendars. Full details, as stated by Trump, are still to come, adding to the anticipation of such a surprising duo.
Over the years, the relationship between these two influential figures has experienced a remarkable shift. Musk, who supported Democrats Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in the 2016 and 2020 elections, has voiced his endorsement for Trump’s 2024 bid for the presidency. This change in the billionaire entrepreneur’s political stance arises from his notable disillusionment with the Democratic Party and what he refers to as the “woke mind virus.”
Trump has acknowledged Musk’s endorsement, stating that he has a “very good relationship” with him. Furthermore, Musk has launched a political action committee (PAC), promoting “meritocracy & individual freedom.” Despite reports suggesting Musk’s plans to donate $45 million monthly to support Trump’s election, Musk has clarified during a live interview that this statement is not accurate.
Musk has confirmed the creation of a PAC or Super PAC named America PAC. He discloses making donations to this PAC, but at a lower level. The key values of this PAC are meritocracy and individual freedom – principles, according to Musk, primarily but not exclusively supported by Republicans.
Interestingly, Musk distances himself from Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again” during his interview. He asserts that his America PAC’s aim is not to ‘make America great again,’ but to promote the principles that made America great initially. Musk’s stance is apparent – he believes America is already great. His goal? To ‘Make America Greater.’
Their relationship is complex. Musk was part of a business advisory group when Trump assumed office in 2017 but chose to step down when Trump decided to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord.
In recent years, Musk appears to have warmed to Trump’s policies. He’s publicly criticized the current administration’s push for social media censorship during the pandemic and vaccine rollout.
And that’s all for today’s news update. Thank you for joining us!
