Elon Musk’s secret plan to buy Trump the presidency

In 2022, Elon Musk said Donald Trump was “too old” to be president, and Donald Trump called Musk a “bullshit artist”.

In the relatively short time since, Elon Musk has endorsed the former president and offered him some free publicity by interviewing Trump on his website X.

It’s now been revealed that Elon Musk has also been working behind the scenes to fundraise for Trump’ presidential campaign for months, raising millions of dollars while going to great lengths to keep his involvement secret.
