The audience gasped, though many had been suspecting for weeks that Musk had something massive up his billionaire sleeves. After all, this was the man who casually dropped $44 billion to purchase X, the very platform Trump was once banned from. What’s another $5 billion between friends?
During his speech, Musk explained the motivation behind his generous donation. “I’ve built rockets that have reached the stars, cars that don’t need gas, and now it’s time to build something more important: a future where Donald Trump is president again. This feels right.”
He paused dramatically, allowing the crowd time to digest the gravity of his statement. And then, with a grin that could only belong to a man worth over $200 billion, he continued: “I mean, if I can buy Twitter, I can certainly help Trump win the presidency. Right?”
Right indeed, Elon.
