One of the richest people in the world has a clear preference in the US election campaign. After Joe Biden withdrew from the race, Elon Musk called the Democratic incumbent a puppet.
Tech billionaire Elon Musk claims to have known about Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the US presidential race. “I heard last week that he would withdraw at this exact time. It was common knowledge in DC,” Musk wrote on the X platform, which he owns. “The real forces in power are getting rid of the old puppet in favor of one that has a better chance of deceiving the public. They fear Trump because he is not a puppet.” Musk commented on the online discourse surrounding Biden’s withdrawal with several other posts on X.
The multi-billionaire is one of the richest people in the world and has repeatedly expressed his support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. According to media reports, this support in the election campaign is not only verbal, but also financial. Shortly after Trump announced Senator JD Vance as his running mate, Musk commented on X: “That sounds like a win.”
