Elon Musk says his ‘cavalry has arrived’ to elect Donald Trump president—his ‘cavalry’ being men

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has completely changed about the former president in the two years since then Posted July 2022 on X. In fact, the SpaceX founder has donated at least $132 million to Trump’s campaign as of October 26, making him one of Trump’s biggest financial backers.

The Philadelphia Attorney General’s Office tried to shut down the scheme by suing Musk, alleging that the lottery violated consumer protection laws and was intended to interfere with the election, but a judge in Philadelphia on Monday… He allowed the gift to proceed.

There doesn’t seem to be much slowing Musk down. He has continued to campaign for Trump and has posted on X about the election several times. He even hinted on Tuesday that he has a large crowd supporting him and Trump.

“The cavalry has arrived,” Musk. Published on X Tuesday afternoon. “Men are voting in record numbers. “They now realize that everything is at stake.”
