Trump Surprised by Musk’s Revelation on His 2024 Endorsement [WATCH]

Elon Musk’s decision to back Donald Trump in the 2024 election came as no surprise to conservatives, but the tech billionaire revealed a detail on Tuesday night that even Trump hadn’t heard before.

During a Fox News sit-down with Sean Hannity, Musk explained his thought process behind the endorsement and how the attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pennsylvania, accelerated his decision.

“I was going to do it anyway,” Musk stated when Hannity pointed out the timing of his endorsement, which came shortly after the shocking assassination attempt in July.

“That was it?” Hannity asked.

“That was a precipitating event,” Musk replied.

Trump, intrigued by the revelation, followed up:

“That sped it up a little bit? I didn’t know that.”

Musk confirmed, “It sped it up, but I was going to do it anyway.”

While Musk had already shown signs of leaning toward Trump, his endorsement, issued in the wake of the attack, sent shockwaves through the political world.

Many viewed his public declaration of support as a major shift in the election landscape, and some Democrats even admitted the move could significantly impact the race.

Democratic Senator John Fetterman acknowledged Musk’s influence during an October interview with The New York Times.

“Not even just that he has endorsed [Trump], but the fact that now he’s becoming an active participant and showing up and doing rallies and things like that,” he said, noting that Musk’s presence could appeal to a voter base that Democrats desperately need to secure.

Fetterman compared Musk to Tony Stark, the fictional Marvel billionaire known for his ingenuity and widespread appeal. “I mean, [Musk] is incredibly successful, and, you know, I think some people would see him as, like, a Tony Stark,” he said.

“Democrats, you know, kind of make light of it, or they make fun of him jumping up and down and things like that. And I would just say that they are doing that at our peril.”

In a separate conversation with CNN, Fetterman further admitted his concern over Musk’s decision to back Trump. “Endorsements, they’re really not meaningful often, but this one is, I think. That has me concerned,” he said.

Musk’s decision to step into the political arena more aggressively was a game-changer as he cemented himself as a major conservative force in Trump’s presidency, reshaping the political and technological landscape alike.
