Elon Musk has earned a fan in former president Donald Trump.
The Republican front-runner gushed over the Tesla owner and his electric cars during his Arizona rally in a video from June 7, 2024. In a video post on X, formerly Twitter, an account @cb_doge shared the ex-commander-in-chief telling a crowd at an event that he’s a “big fan of electric cars” and a “fan of Elon.”
The post caption mentioned the quote from Trump, “I am a big fan of electric cars. I’m a big fan of Elon Musk. I like Elon.” The X post amassed over 80K views and comments with some appreciating the 78-year-old’s remarks while others giving Trump a reality check that his admiration for Musk hasn’t been reciprocated.

Ironically, Elon Musk told his biographer that he is not a Trump fan and even called the former president, ‘world’s best bullshitters’. Pointing this out, one X user @AdmissionsTruth wrote, “It’s not mutual, Don, read Elon’s biography.” @RogerDottin pointed out, “He has said even nicer things about Elon before.” Meanwhile, this user, @BWay124, suggests it could be a political move, “Donnie knows the culture. Rallying Elon is prob 1m US votes by association. Biden continues to post about unions saving EVs when they are producing minimal numbers and no profitable ones I know of.”
However, @ReelJustinLewis, wrote that it’s Trump’s signature talking style, “That’s just the way Trump talks lol.” Also, a handful of X users praised Trump for acknowledging Musk’s contribution as @Capt_America101 said, “When one legend applauds another legend. Legendary.” @IretonLisa echoed, “We all are a fan of Elon. I’m glad he is too.”
ApTheideo post was originally shared by another entrepreneur named Sawyer Merritt, who, according to his X bio, is also a Tesla investor. His post garnered 1.4 million views and a slew of comments, where some agree with Trump while others seemed happy that at least, the 2024 presidential hopeful acknowledged the X owner.
