Former President Donald Trump is set to sit down with tech mogul and billionaire Elon Musk for a “major interview.”
The interview will be a groundbreaking conversation between two of the most influential figures of our time.
In a recent interview with Lex Fridman, tech mogul Elon Musk disclosed his rationale for endorsing Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
The discussion began with Fridman referencing a tragic assassination attempt on Trump, which Musk had commented on via social media.
Musk praised Trump’s display of courage following the assassination attempt, stating, “He just got shot. He’s got blood streaming down his face, and he’s fist-pumping, saying, ‘Fight.’ That’s impressive.”
It can be recalled that Elon Musk endorsed President Trump roughly 30 minutes after he was shot in an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk tweeted.

He followed up minutes later, saying, “Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt.”

Musk argued that the United States requires a leader like Trump, who can stand firm against tough adversaries on the global stage.
“Most people would be ducking,” he said, referring to how others might react in a crisis. “You want someone who is strong and courageous to represent the country.”
The billionaire entrepreneur didn’t shy away from acknowledging Trump’s flaws but maintained that, on balance, Trump is the better choice compared to Biden. “It was a choice of Biden… who has trouble climbing a flight of stairs, and the other one is fist-pumping after getting shot. No comparison,” Musk said.
During the conversation, Musk outlined several critical issues that are in line with Trump’s vision:
-
Border Security: Musk emphasized the need for a secure border as fundamental to national safety.
-
Urban Safety and Cleanliness: He called for safe and clean cities, implying that current policies have failed to maintain urban environments.
-
Fiscal Responsibility: Musk expressed deep concern over government spending, stating that “the interest payments on US debt this year exceeded the entire defense department spending.” He warned that if unchecked, this could lead to a fiscal crisis reminiscent of Argentina’s economic downfall.
- Reducing Government Size: He argued for a reduction in government size and spending to ensure that America does not take its prosperity for granted.
