In a series of explosive interviews and social media posts, billionaire Elon Musk has made startling revelations about former President Donald Trump—some flattering, some controversial, and some that could reshape the 2024 election landscape.
1. “Trump Never Actually Wanted to Be President”
Musk claims Trump confided in him during a private dinner that he ran for office primarily for “branding opportunities” and never expected to win.
“He thought it would be great for TV deals and book sales,” Musk revealed.
2. “He Calls Me for Tech Advice… Often”
Despite Trump’s public skepticism about electric vehicles, Musk says the former president privately seeks his input on:
-
Artificial intelligence risks
-
Social media algorithms
-
How to “fix” America’s infrastructure
3. The Truth About That SpaceX Photo Op
Remember when Trump posed proudly in front of a SpaceX rocket? Musk now admits:
“We had to explain three times that it wasn’t a missile.”
4. “He Doesn’t Really Use Email or Computers”
In perhaps the least surprising revelation, Musk confirmed Trump’s well-known aversion to technology:
“Everything is printed out for him. Everything.”
5. The 2024 Prediction That Stunned Republicans
Musk’s most controversial claim? That Trump would “probably prefer to lose” in 2024 because:
-
A loss lets him play martyr
-
A win means actual responsibility
-
“Being the opposition is more fun for him”
