Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has made a bold prediction about the future of former President Donald Trump. Despite being banned from major social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, Trump remains a prominent figure in American politics, and Musk believes that he will become even more influential in the coming years.
In a recent interview with podcast host Joe Rogan, Musk remarked that Trump will likely run for president again in 2024 and win in a landslide victory. “I think he’s probably going to be a shoo-in for the Republican nomination in 2024,” Musk said. “I don’t think anyone else can even come close to him in terms of popularity.”
Musk’s prediction may seem surprising to some, given the controversy and polarization that surround Trump’s presidency. However, Musk sees Trump’s overwhelming support among Republican voters as a major advantage that will give him an edge in the next election.
“Even people who don’t necessarily like him or agree with him on everything still see him as a strong leader who can get things done,” Musk explained. “And in a country where so many people feel disenfranchised and disillusioned with politics, that kind of leadership can be very appealing.”
Musk went on to suggest that Trump’s re-election could have significant implications for the future of technology and space exploration. As a staunch advocate for space exploration and human colonization of other planets, Musk has long emphasized the importance of government support for scientific and technological innovation.
According to Musk, Trump’s pro-business, pro-technology policies could pave the way for unprecedented breakthroughs in fields ranging from artificial intelligence to renewable energy to space exploration. “He’s a disruptor, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need to get things moving,” Musk said.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Musk’s prediction about Trump’s political future will prove accurate. Critics point out that Trump’s recent impeachment and the ongoing investigation into his role in the January 6 Capitol riot could significantly impact his chances of winning the next election.
Some have also raised concerns about the potential impact of a second Trump presidency on American democracy and political stability. Despite these uncertainties, however, Musk’s endorsement of Trump’s leadership suggests that there are many who see him as a force for positive change in the years to come.
