Tesla CEO Musk Claims Key Role in Trump 2024 Victory Amid Market Drop

Elon Musk has publicly claimed that his involvement was crucial to President Trump's victory in the 2024 election, asserting that without his support, Democrats would have gained control of the House and Republicans would have held a narrow Senate majority. Musk also accused President Trump of ingratitude following criticisms from the Oval Office, which included Trump expressing disappointment over Musk's remarks and a recent budgetary law. This public dispute between Musk and President Trump coincided with a significant drop in Tesla's stock price, falling nearly 9% on the New York Stock Exchange. Meanwhile, Musk has also taken a strong stance against the United Nations, calling for a complete defunding of the organization after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticized social media platforms for spreading misinformation and societal division. These developments highlight Musk's continued influence and controversial presence in both US politics and international policy discussions.
