As a die-hard supporter of Trump, Musk recently stated that his headquarters will be moved in order to better support Trump.
Trump's approval rating surges after assassination
After the "shooting incident" in Pennsylvania, it seems that Trump's victory in this year's presidential election is a foregone conclusion. Therefore, support from all parties has also increased, and Musk is the most active one. As one of the entrepreneurs who supports Trump the most, Musk is proving himself with practical actions. At present, Musk has publicly stated that the headquarters of his three companies will be moved to Texas. Among them, the headquarters of the electric car Tesla will be moved from Palo Alto in Silicon Valley, while the headquarters of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) and social media platform X (formerly Twitter) will be moved from California. Why does Musk go to such great lengths to move?

We all know that for a company of this size to move, it not only takes a lot of energy, but also costs a lot of money. It is an extremely laborious "trouble". Why does Musk want to cause himself so much trouble? According to what he said, California is now controlled by the Democratic Party, and their policies have made the business environment very bad. Moreover, Musk is very dissatisfied with the Democratic Party, so he wants to move the headquarters of his three companies to Texas. Texas is the base of the Republican Party and the base of full support for Trump. Therefore, Musk moved the headquarters of all his three companies to Texas, sending a signal of full support for Trump.
Musk donated a sizable sum to a low-profile group called the American Political Action Committee
In addition to this highly symbolic support, Musk's support for Trump is more practical and specific. Just a few days ago, Musk publicly announced that he would provide a huge political donation to Trump's campaign headquarters every month, with the amount reaching 45 million US dollars per month. Now there are more than four months to go before the US presidential election, which means that Musk will provide Trump with at least more than 200 million US dollars in campaign funds. With such strong support from Musk, Trump's campaign funds can be said to be "sufficient".
Tesla's Gigafactory in Texas
In addition, Musk's support for Trump in public opinion is even more full. Not only has his X platform now been fully opened to Trump, but he will even personally cheer for him. Recently, the New York Times, a Democratic Party newspaper, published an article criticizing Trump. Musk immediately wrote an article to criticize the Democratic Party, angrily accusing it of having no sympathy at all. It can be said that with Musk's support in public opinion, Trump will win the approval of more middle-class voters.
Texas is a stronghold for Trump supporters
In fact, big capitalists like Musk who fully support Trump are no longer isolated cases, and many people are optimistic about Trump's election prospects. Therefore, if there is no major scandal or incident, Trump is likely to return to the White House.
