Elon Musk’s political engagement has soared with his endorsement of Trump, creation of the America PAC, and plans to interview the former president.
In 2015, Elon Musk said that he gets «involved in politics as little as possible.» Tonight, he has plans to interview former President Donald Trump, whom he has endorsed for president.
Musk’s public persona had more to do with his tech companies than his politics as recently as 2021. As of November of that year, Musk tweeted a great deal about Tesla and SpaceX, his most valuable companies at the time. Approximately ⅓ of his posts on what was then Twitter related to those ventures, the reported.
Since buying the social media platform and turning it into X in October of 2022, Musk has transformed his posting habits. Now, political tweets comprise 17% of his feed, compared to 2% in 2021, according to the Post.
