He's a genius. We must protect him, Trump expressed, thanking Elon Musk for his support in the US election.

The Republican candidate for the 2024 United States presidential election, Donald Trump, has praised his loyal supporter and tech billionaire Elon Musk, saying the tech guru must be protected.

Trump informed his supporters on Wednesday, November 6, 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 added; “He’s a character, a special guy, a super genius. We must protect our geniuses; we don’t have that many of them.”

Musk has been a strong supporter of Trump’s campaign, randomly donating one million dollars to voters who register to vote for the Republican Party.
