Elon Musk said President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans would have lost the 2024 election without his support.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk said in a post on X.
Musk was responding to Trump’s statement in the Oval Office Thursday that he didn’t need the tech billionaire to win the election.
“I would have won Pennsylvania regardless of Elon,” Trump said. “I’m very disappointed with Elon.”
Musk spent more than $290 million on the 2024 election, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission. The massive sum was rivaled by only a handful of competing mega donors.
