TRUMP: “I Love Elon Musk”

During his rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, President Trump said today that he loves Elon Musk.

Trump told the crowd of around 12,000, “Elon endorsed me recently, the other day. He’s great. I love Musk. He’s a brilliant guy.”

The 45th president continued, “He gives me $45 million a month — not $45 million, $45 million a month … He didn’t even mention it to me.”

He didn’t even mention it to me. Other guys give you $2, and you have to take them to lunch. He’s a great guy,” added Trump.

Trump today: “I love Elon Musk; Three years ago I’m watching TV and I see this rocket come down landing. No wings no nothing; It’s landing on a barge in the middle of the ocean; I’ve never seen that before. If that were government you wouldn’t see that for another 50-100 years.” pic.twitter.com/EPf2fKmyLE

Here’s what Newsmax Reported:

Former President Donald Trump said he loves billionaire Elon Musk during a campaign rally Saturday in Michigan.

“Elon endorsed me recently, the other day. He’s great. I love Musk. He’s a brilliant guy,” Trump said at his rally,which aired live on Newsmax and simulcast on the Newsmax2 online streaming platform. “I’ve always had a good relationship with him.”

Trump referenced Elon’s vow to donate $45 million a month to his campaign.

“He gives me $45 million a month — not $45 million, $45 million a month … He didn’t even mention it to me. Other guys give you $2 and you have to take them to lunch. He’s a great guy,” Trump said.

Trump said Musk has never pressured him regarding his stance on electric vehicles.

“He’s never mentioned to me, ‘Why are you hitting the electric cars?’ I’m not; they’re incredible, but they’re not for everybody. Some people need to drive long distances. They tend to be more expensive and they may be made in China,” Trump said.

Trump said he isn’t against electric cars, he’s “totally for them,” but that you can’t have 100% electric cars on the market.
