SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most contentious and closely watched political battles in recent memory. With the race expected to be a nail-biter, every endorsement and influencer carries significant weight.
In a stunning revelation that sent shockwaves through the political arena, tech mogul Elon Musk hinted at the possibility of throwing his immense influence behind a presidential candidate as the campaign enters its final stretch, as per The Hill.
Musk's enigmatic comments during an interview with former CNN anchor Don Lemon have set the internet abuzz with reactions.
Elon Musk leaves door wide open for a potential game-changing endorsement
The billionaire tech tycoon, known for his unconventional and often polarizing views, left the door wide open for a potential game-changing endorsement that could significantly sway the outcome of the highly anticipated race.
"I may, in the final stretch, endorse a candidate, but I don't know yet," Musk revealed to Lemon, adding, "I want to make a considered decision before the election, and if I do decide to endorse a candidate, then I will explain exactly why."
With his vast fortune, rather influential presence across social media platforms, and a loyal following, Musk's endorsement could potentially tip the scales in an election that is expected to be a nail-biter.
Elon Musk dismisses reports of Trump seeking financial support from him
In the interview, Musk dismissed reports of Trump seeking financial support from him during their recent meeting in Florida. "Let's just say he did most of the talking," Musk quipped, adding that he has no plans to financially contribute to either Trump's or Biden's campaigns in a significant way.
However, Musk did hint at "leaning away from Biden," though he refrained from explicitly endorsing Trump's policies or candidacy. Speculation abounds regarding Musk's potential backing of Robert F Kennedy's independent presidential bid, as reported by the Wall Street Journal.
