Musk fully endorses Trump after rally shooting

Last month, Musk offered his complete endorsement for Trump following the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," Musk wrote on X on July 13 while sharing a video of the moment after a bullet struck his right ear.

Musk has said he previously voted for Democratic candidates, including President Joe Biden, in the three previous election cycles. In recent years, the tech mogul has vocalized his frustration with Democrat policies such as Biden's indefinite support for labor unions and his decisions regarding immigration and the border.

Earlier this year, Musk vowed not to contribute to either Trump or Biden's campaigns.

"Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President," he wrote on March 6.
