Billionaire businessman and Platform X CEO, Elon Musk, has endorsed former US President and Republican Party candidate, Donald Trump, for the upcoming election.
Musk declared his support for Trump on Saturday night while responding to reports of a shooting at the former President’s rally in Pennsylvania. Video footage appeared to show blood on Trump’s ear as he was rushed off-stage by security staff.
According to the Associated Press, the shooting resulted in the deaths of the shooter and one audience member.
Reacting to the incident on his X handle, Musk wrote: “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.” In another post, he added: “Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt.”
On November 5th, Donald Trump will run against incumbent Joe Biden of the Democratic Party on the Republican Party’s platform in what will be America’s first rematch election in almost 70 years.
