Elon Musk said former President Donald Trump is “mostly accurate” in his assertion that Republicans fared poorly in the midterms because they “poorly handled” the abortion issue.
What Happened: Musk reacted to a Truth Social post by Donald Trump — shared by political commentator Ian Miles Cheong.
Cheong asked Musk, “Donald Trump says that Republicans lost the midterms because of pro-lifers who got their wishes granted by the Supreme Court and then didn't bother voting. Do you agree?”
In response, the billionaire said, “Mostly accurate tbh.”
Why It Matters: Trump had said in his post that “people that pushed so hard, for decades, against abortion, got their wish from the U.S. Supreme Court, & just plain disappeared, not to be seen again.”
Recently, Trump called Musk a hero despite their long-standing feud for releasing the so-called “Twitter Files.”
Musk has expressed support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
Trump and Musk have enjoyed a “love-hate” relationship but the latter has been spotted with Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner at the FIFA World Cup finals recently.
