Billionaire Elon Musk, more active on the social media platform X than ever, on Friday, had an unexpected statement for the president of the United States, Donald Trump. “I love Donald Trump as much as a heterosexual man can love another man,” wrote the Tesla CEO in X.
Trump’s son, Donald Trump JR, reacted with emojis laughing, while users flooded the platform with jokes.

In an informative session of the White House together with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ihiba, Fox News reporter Peter Doucy took the opportunity to interrogate Trump about the Musk post.
“Elon Musk says: ‘I love Donald Trump as much as a heterosexual man can love another man.’ What does the first lady think of that?” Mr. Doucy asked.
With his signature smile, Trump shrugged. “Oh, I think she will be well with that … somehow.”

Musk’s statement occurred after he consolidated his position as Trump’s key ally weeks after the 78 -year -old man returned to the White House. The billionaire donated more than $ 100 million to republican causes, attended campaign demonstrations and assumed an influential role in configuration of administration policies.
Together, Trump and Musk have become a disruptive force in Washington. In his first weeks in office, Trump has issued radical executive orders: to address the citizenship of birth rights and retreat diversity, equity and inclusion policies (DEI).
The Musk government efficiency department (Doge) has caused controversy by obtaining access to delicate government records, including the federal payment system that distributes social security checks.
The Trump Administration, together with the Musk budget cutting goblin, has also launched an unprecedented offensive against USAID. Almost all funds for the agency have been arrested, effectively closing the global aid and development programs. Employees and contractors have been placed on license or license, with access to revoked agency systems. According to Democratic legislators, USAID computer servers were even eliminated as part of the review.
