Today, prominent tech and financial figures weighed in on former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC). While some hailed it as a masterclass, others saw it as a missed opportunity. The debate was notably highlighted by Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson’s critical stance against supportive comments from Elon Musk and Robert Kiyosaki.
Charles Hoskinson Criticizes Trump’s RNC Speech
Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson offered deemed Donald Trump‘s latest speech as one of the “biggest missed opportunities.” Hoskinson stated, “I couldn’t help but think it was one of the biggest missed opportunities for a powerful, emotional, and unifying timeless piece of speechcraft.” He argued that instead of delivering a visionary address, Trump’s speech was marred by reflections on past grievances and policy disputes.
Hoskinson lamented that the speech did not address many important issues. In addition, he called it a “sad” moment for the Republican party but expressed confidence in Robert Kennedy Jr. as a potential unifying leader. The Cardano founder further highlighted the current state of the Democratic Party.
He described it as “a headless government and platform” with Biden being “actively replaced behind the scenes.” He emphasized the need for genuine leadership and democratic consent. Additionally, Hoskinson criticized the notion of an open convention replacing the primary process.
He suggested that America desperately needs a unifying vision and leadership. The Cardano founder contrasted Trump’s RNC speech with Ronald Reagan’s 1980 acceptance speech and his first address to Congress after being shot in 1981, both of which he considered exemplary.
Moreover, the Cardano creator referenced the 1981 speech strategically as Trump faced an assassination attempt earlier this week. He drew parallels between how Regan and Trump handled the situation with the former earning praise. Hoskinson has, hence, doubled down on support for RFK Jr, which has been evident in past months.

Elon Musk & Robert Kiyosaki’s Comments
Amid Charles Hoskinson’s critic, James Calacanis, a well-known entrepreneur, praised Trump’s ability to connect with a wide audience. He claimed, “Trump is flipping every moderate I know… and many life-long democrats, by speaking to all Americans in a way that the democrats have forgotten how to do.”
Calacanis emphasized the importance of a positive message and the need for Democrats to create a “big, non-judgmental tent” and truly listen to their constituents. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, echoed Calacanis’ sentiments by agreeing with his statement.
Meanwhile, Robert Kiyosaki, renowned author and Bitcoin advocate, lauded Trump’s performance at the RNC. He described the event as “electric on fire” and Trump as “amazing” and “bullet proof.” Moreover, Kiyosaki criticized President Joe Biden and his administration.
In addition, Kiyosaki accused them of increasing inflation and compromising national security. He asserted that Trump’s plan was simple: “Do business or get poor. Keep America’s military strong or we kick your ass. Bring jobs back and get America producing. Stop handing out welfare checks. And drain the swamp of blood-sucking government bureaucrats.”
Kiyosaki expressed his belief that Trump, along with JD Vance as Vice President, would ensure 12 years of sound governance. Additionally, he expects Trump leadership to make “America great, rich, and powerful again.”
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, these divergent views reflect the broader national discourse. The contrasting opinions of Elon Musk, Robert Kiyosaki, and Charles Hoskinson offer a snapshot of the intense debate that will reshape the political landscape. Moreover, crypto stalwarts like Vitalik Buterin opposed single issue voting for pro-crypto candidates like Trump.
