Elon Musk says Kamala Harris "exceeded most people's expectations" in her first debate against Trump.
But that isn't stopping Musk from backing Trump.
Musk said he still believes "Trump will do a far better job" than Harris.
Elon Musk , a prominent backer of former President Donald Trump , said Vice President Kamala Harris "exceeded most people's expectations" at ABC's September 10 presidential debate — but that won't stop him from backing Trump.
"While I don't think the debate hosts were fair to @realDonaldTrump, @KamalaHarris exceeded most people's expectations tonight," Musk wrote on X hours after the debate.
"That said, when it comes to getting things done, not just saying nice-sounding words, I strongly believe that Trump will do a far better job," Musk continued.
In his post, Musk also questioned why Harris hadn't already done "great things" as President Joe Biden's deputy.
"The question comes down to this: do you want current trends to continue for 4 more years or do you want change?" Musk said.
Trump, meanwhile, barely looked at Harris. The former president also started unleashing his rage on live TV after she successfully baited him on his rally crowd size.
"I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayers' hard-earned money is spent in a good way, and I'd be happy to help out on such a commission," Musk said.
"I'd love it," Trump replied.
Representatives for Trump and Harris did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.
