Trump and his allies want Elon Musk to speak at Republican National Convention
Publishing timestamp: 2024-03-08 17:03:16
Summary
Republican Party leaders are hoping to boost their historically lagging youth vote by convincing Elon Musk to speak at the GOP convention in July. Musk, who recently bought the social media site X, has already lifted the lifetime ban on Trump's account. Musk's potential speaker role at the convention would be seen as an endorsement of Trump's candidacy, and some of Trump's advisors are hoping that Musk will start supporting the Republican candidate. Despite Musk's reported net worth of nearly $200 billion, he has said he does not plan to donate money to either Trump or Biden's campaigns.
