Trump, 76, told supporters he predicted the world’s richest man would not go ahead with buying Twitter as he dumped the platform that banned him and promoted social media company Truth Social. Musk, 51, backed out of a $44 billion deal to buy the company on Friday after claiming he failed to provide information about its fake accounts. Trump also claimed that the boss of SpaceX and Tesla voted for him and then lied about it. “You know, he said the other day, ‘Oh, I’ve never voted Republican.’ I said “I didn’t know, he told me he voted for me”. So he’s another bull artist,” the Republican said. The humor came after Musk said last month that he was “leaning” toward supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSandis for president in 2024.

He was joined on stage at the Save America rally by US House candidate and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as well as Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka, who is vying to unseat Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
