Musk’s Mars dream gets a boost with Trump in White House
Since Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States, Elon Musk has become the center of global media attention. Some outlets are even speculating, "Did Trump really win, or was it actually Elon Musk?" Those who follow international politics closely know that Musk had placed a massive bet on Trump's victory in this election. He spent a staggering $11.9 crore on Trump's campaign. Musk didn’t just stop only spending money; he actively participated in the campaign as well. Trump referred him as the biggest star of the Republican Party. Some are now saying that it wasn’t Trump who won this election—rather, it was Elon Musk. After Trump's victory, Musk posted a photo on his X (formerly Twitter) account. Even after purchasing Twitter, Musk had shared this image, showing himself walking into Twitter's headquarters holding a bathroom sink. He edited the same image and reposted it, this time showing himself entering the White House holding the sink, with the same caption: “Let that sink in!”, meaning, "haven't you understood the matter?"
