Elon Musk Drew Winces From Billionaires’ Gathering With Trump Pitch
Elon Musk reportedly urged a group of fellow billionaires and top political strategists in February to tell their friends to vote for Donald Trump in the 2024 election because he believes the GOP candidate will stop illegal immigration.
Some in the crowd at an oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach owned by activist investor Nelson Peltz shook their heads and winced after Musk’s backing of Trump, according to The Washington Post.
The X owner, who went public with his Trump endorsement after his assassination attempt on July 13, allegedly launched into a “lengthy discussion of illegal immigration” at the Feb. 16 meeting after initially saying he wasn’t a big supporter of Trump.
