Elon Musk, the billionaire business tycoon, recently made headlines with his comments about former President Donald Trump, causing a stir on social media. In a post on X, Musk humorously mentioned that when he brings up Trump in Los Angeles, people react as if they were hit with a dart containing rabies and crystal meth. The post garnered over 25 million views and sparked numerous reactions.
Responding to Musk's post, GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah quipped back, suggesting that perhaps the strong reactions were due to the audience already being 'rabid and high on meth.' Musk, known for his candid and sometimes controversial remarks, has been vocal about his support for Trump, endorsing him during the 2024 election cycle.
Notably, Musk is scheduled to attend a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where the former president narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in July. Musk had expressed his endorsement for Trump following the shocking incident, emphasizing the need for Trump's victory for the country's well-being.
Aside from endorsing Trump, Musk has also been critical of the Democratic Party, claiming that they are soft on criminals because criminals tend to vote Democrat. He further asserted that the Democratic Party has shifted too far left, positioning the Republican Party as closer to the center.
These remarks from Musk have stirred debate and controversy, reflecting the polarized political climate in the United States. With his influential platform and outspoken nature, Musk's comments continue to draw attention and spark discussions among the public.
