US election: ‘Super genius’ – Trump thanks Elon Musk for his support

The Republican candidate for the 2024 United States presidential election, Donald Trump, has praised his loyal supporter and tech billionaire Elon Musk, calling him a “super genius.”

Trump, on Wednesday, informed his supporters that Musk’s Starlink satellite service played a crucial role in saving “a lot of lives” during Hurricane Helene, which struck the southeastern United States in October.

“I told Elon they need it badly in North Carolina. Can you get it? He had that there so fast, it was incredible. It saved a lot of lives. They saved a lot of lives,” Trump stated.

He further described Musk as “a character, he’s a special guy, he’s a super genius. We have to protect our geniuses; we don’t have that many of them.”

Musk has been a strong supporter of Trump’s campaign, even contributing financially to help bring the former president back to the White House.
