Elon Musk Says “Putin Must Not Want Trump Elected”

In an X post dated September 5, Elon Musk stated, “Putin must not want Trump elected.” This statement comes amid a heated debate on the platform over $10 million payment by Russia.

Notably, Harry Sisson, a renowned Democratic supporter, hinted that “a company with a number of HUGE MAGA Republican creators allegedly got $10 million from the Russian government to spread Russian propaganda.” However, in response to this statement, Ashley St. Clair, a renowned Author, stated, “These were not “MAGA Republicans” and the creators, by the DOJ’s own indictment, are victims.”

According to Ashley, the leader of the scheme that reflects the $10 million payment from Russia has notably told her followers to withhold their votes for Donald Trump for weeks now. Elon Musk’s statement primarily aligns with Ashley’s remarks, as the Tesla & SpaceX CEO thinks Russia’s President Putin may be responsible for it.

Intriguingly, via another X post by global newswire FirstSquawk on September 5, it was brought to attention that Putin indicated: Biden recommended to support Harris, we will do the same.

Nevertheless, nationwide waves currently favor the Republican presidential candidate amid the ongoing presidential campaigns.

As per a September 5 X post by DogeDesigner, UX/UI & Graphic Designer at Dogecoin, the Tesla CEO said, “I have never been materially active in politics before, but this time I think civilization as we know it is on the line. If we want to preserve freedom and a meritocracy in America, then Trump must win.” These statements underlined the Tesla CEO’s undeterred support for Trump. Additionally, Musk recently showcased his eagerness to audit U.S. federal agencies under Trump, given that the candidate wins the upcoming elections.

Amid these developments, Dogecoin price sparked investor enthusiasm today. DOGE price gained nearly 2% in the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $0.09772. The coin noted an uptick despite DOGE whale dumping recently, as reported by CoinGape.
