Speaker 1: We're in the middle of a truly wild presidential race,
Speaker 1: pitting a Democrat who wasn't on the ballot until this
Speaker 1: summer against a Republican who was convicted on thirty four
Speaker 1: felony counts just before receiving his party's nomination for president.
Speaker 1: But the wildest thing might be this guy. And you know, Elon.
Speaker 1: I love Elon Musk Do I love him a life?
Speaker 1: Elon Musk Green capitalist, world's richest man, and also one
Speaker 1: of the biggest political contributors in American history. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and Elon are close these days, which might seem strange
Speaker 1: since just a couple of years ago, Trump was saying
Speaker 1: stuff like since I started working on this podcast, the
Speaker 1: relationship between the two men has only strengthened. To start
Speaker 1: Elon's tweets, They've gone from I fully endorse Trump to
Speaker 1: saying that there won't be in America if Trump loses,
Speaker 1: to saying that humanity will never reach the stars without
Speaker 1: having a president Donald Trump a second time. Then there
Speaker 1: was Elon's two hour live interview of Trump on X.
Speaker 1: You have definitely got a fertile mind. We can talk
Speaker 1: about cuddles and rockets, so many things. Then the ads
Speaker 1: paid for by Elon's pack. Trump is the American badass.
Speaker 1: Will stop this nonsense. When Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: where the Summer's assassination attempt happened, Elon went there too.
Speaker 1: He jumped up and down like a kid in a
Speaker 1: bouncy castle and then delivered this kind of halting speech
Speaker 1: with sentences like fight, fight, and blood coming down the face.
Speaker 1: From Bloomberg Podcasts, This is Citizen Elon. I'm Max Chafkin.
Speaker 1: In this three part series, we investigate someone who might
Speaker 1: be the deciding factor in the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1: Why is Elon Musk suddenly so dead set on Trump winning?
Speaker 1: And if it works, he successfully gets Trump elected? What happens? Then?
