Trump praised Elon Musk

During a rally in Michigan on Saturday, Donald Trump heaped praise on Elon Musk, saying the Tesla CEO is "great" and a "smart guy."

While the competition between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is heating up in the US presidential elections to be held on November 5, a support for Trump attracted a lot of attention.

Former president and new presidential candidate Donald Trump, who was subjected to an assassination attempt last weekend, received support from Elon Musk, one of the important names in the technology world. Musk announced that he supported Trump on July 13, when the assassination attempt took place.

Despite repeatedly shifting his politics to the right, the Tesla CEO had until recently opted to remain silent about his preferred candidate, but is now openly showing his support. It was even reported in the press that the famous billionaire planned to donate $45 million a month to Trump's election campaign.

Although Trump stated that he was not aware of Musk's high-budget support, he praised the famous technology leader at his last rally.

Trump used the following statements at the rally: "Elon. I love Elon Musk. Do we love him?" I love him."

While the former president said, "We must make life beautiful for our smart people like Musk," he added that he was not aware of the large donation plan and had only read the report on this subject:

"I read about it, I didn't know about it, he didn't even tell me about it, but he gives me $45 million a month. I talked to him not long ago. And he didn't even mention it."

In fact, Musk's increasing tendency towards Trump is considered to contradict his own interests. In fact, during Saturday's rally, Trump made clear that he thought electric cars were incredible but not for everyone, saying, "Some people have to travel long distances, and they tend to be more expensive," making statements that were not very helpful to Musk's Tesla company.
