Musk Responds to Trump-Harris Saga
X (previously Twitter) user uploaded a Polymarket screenshot, emphasizing Trump's rising chances of winning and noted, “Kamala is collapsing before our eyes.” Musk, Tesla's CEO and a renowned tech personality, stressed the need for a decisive win, pointing to a positive trend in crypto political betting chances for Donald Trump.
“Victory is not enough, it must be absolutely decisive victory,” Musk said on X, pointing to Trump and Harris' growing gap. Trump's chances are rising, suggesting a “decisive” triumph for the former president. At press time, Polymarket gave Trump 53.4% odds and Harris 45.7%.
Musk, who just endorsed Trump, has shown interest in joining a Trump government. Musk may oversee an efficiency-focused government agency. Musk gave a speech at Trump's Pennsylvania event over the weekend, solidifying his support.
Musk had openly changed his political views, expressing opposition to the Democratic Party. I used to vote Democrat because they were mainly nice. They have become the party of division and hatred, thus I can no longer support them and will vote Republican, Musk said on X.
Today, Musk called the comment a “easy prediction,” emphasizing his dislike of Democrats. This declaration follows a major legal development.
After Musk's X Corp. appealed a search order for Trump's private chats on the platform, the Supreme Court rejected it on October 7. The corporation claimed that special counsel Jack Smith's warrant-obtaining tactics violated the First Amendment.
Musk's platform couldn't reveal the warrant, adding to tensions with legal authorities. In another X article, Swedish writer Peter Imanuelsen noted the mixed responses to Musk's Trump backing.
