Elon Musk's Trump rally appearance just sealed his legacy

Two years ago, when billionaire Elon Musk bought what was once called Twitter, he vowed to keep it a nonbiased platform. In fact, that was his mission statement. Just days after purchasing the platform, Musk said, “For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.”

It was a message he repeated frequently in interviews after purchasing the platform. “The goal of new Twitter is to be as fair and even-handed as possible. So not favoring any political ideology,” Musk told Fox News. But that quickly turned out to be a hollow sentiment.

Instead, Musk used his immense influence on his own platform to tell his followers to vote for Republicans in the 2022 midterms. He also voiced his support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the Republican presidential primary.

But there was one prominent Republican whom Musk wasn’t a fan of: Donald Trump. Musk had previously said the former president was “too old” and that he should “hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.”
