Musk: Trump must win to preserve ‘a meritocracy in America … civilization as we know it is on the line’

Billionaire X owner Elon Musk has entered a number of corporate and scientific arenas, but his latest area of interest has been politics.

While he admits that he’s never really been super active in politics, he, like millions of Americans, sees the writing on the wall with the 2024 presidential election. He has become increasingly more vocal about the path he believes America needs to take, going so far as to endorse former President Donald Trump.

Now, he is stressing the urgency of the moment and putting into perspective why he believes it’s so important to have Trump as America’s next president.

“I have never been materially active in politics before, but this time I think civilization as we know it is on the line,” he wrote on X. “If we want to preserve freedom and a meritocracy in America, then Trump must win.”
