In his recent victory speech, former U.S. President Donald Trump praised Elon Musk, referring to the tech mogul as a “super genius.” Trump commended Musk for his contributions to the technology and automotive industries, highlighting his innovative work with Tesla and SpaceX. The praise marks a rare moment of acknowledgment from Trump toward the entrepreneur, whom he sees as a key figure in American ingenuity and progress.
Trump went on to describe Musk’s achievements as emblematic of the American spirit, pointing to the success of electric vehicles and advancements in space exploration as examples of Musk’s impact. The former president noted that Musk’s work aligns with his own vision of revitalizing American industry and technological leadership on the global stage.
Musk, known for his outspoken presence on social media, has not yet publicly responded to Trump’s comments. However, the mutual admiration between the two figures has been noted in the past, as Musk has occasionally expressed support for Trump’s policies related to business and industry.
