Dhaka, Nov 29 - In his first public address since securing a landslide victory in the 2024 election, US President-elect Donald Trump took the opportunity to praise tech mogul Elon Musk at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) Gala in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

Trump highlighted Musk’s significant contributions to American innovation, particularly his work with Tesla, SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter).

The President-elect commended Musk for his bold vision, which he believes aligns with his own agenda of advancing technological progress and reshaping industries.

“Elon Musk is a true leader, a visionary who is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” Trump said. “His work in electric vehicles, space exploration, and social media has not only challenged established norms but has set America on a path to remain a global leader in innovation.”

Trump’s praise for Musk underscores the growing influence of tech entrepreneurs in shaping the country’s future, with Musk being a key ally in Trump’s broader vision of American greatness. The close relationship between the two has been marked by shared values of disruption and progress.
