How Elon Musk helped will Trump back to the White House

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, played a historic role this election supporting President-elect Donald Trump in his successful quest to take back the White House.

Musk, who is worth around $280 billion and owns the popular social media platform, X, used his influence and wallet to support the former president on the 2024 campaign trail as a key financial backer and ally working to get the GOP’s message out. And the Tesla CEO’s help was certainly not lost on Trump, who, speaking to a roaring crowd of his supporters in Palm Beach, Florida, declared Musk “an amazing guy.”
