Trump Stands By Musk Amid Attacks: A Show Of Support For Tesla And X Ceo

In the wake of a massive cyber hack against X (formerly Twitter) and incidents of arson and vandalism reported against Tesla trucks in U.S., President Trump has come out in support of tech mogul Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of X and Tesla.

The X site underwent heavy DDoS attacks on Monday on three occasions, making the platform unavailable to millions of users across the globe. Tesla Cyber trucks have also been damaged and torched in several one-off incidents across U.S. allegedly by unknown persons.

Friends in need is friend indeed proves President Trump

President Trump showed his support to his best friend by posting on a social media platform, Truth Social, amid claims of an alleged effort by the “ Radical Left” to boycott Tesla and harm Musk’s business, mentioning his plan to buy a brand new Tesla, despite any situation, as a way of showing his confidence and support to Elon Musk.

In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump praised Musk for his contributions to the nation, stating that the tech mogul is “putting it on the line” to help America and is doing a “fantastic job.” Trump emphasized that Musk’s work, particularly in revolutionizing the electric car industry with Tesla, is vital to the country’s future.

President Trump also drew parallels between Musk’s current situation and his own experiences, referencing the “Radical Left” attacks during the 2024 presidential election cycle. Trump quipped, “They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out?”

As both Musk and Trump navigate public controversies, their alliance is increasingly visible. Not to forget here, Musk has also helped a lot to President Trump both financially and morally, during his presidential campaign in 2024.

Musk has expressed his gratitude on X, thanking President Trump. As Musk faces cyberattacks and protests, Trump’s solidarity not only strengthens their personal alliance but also signals a shared commitment to resilience in the face of opposition.
