Elon Musk hinted today that Vladimir Putin opposes Donald Trump’s election as Russia supports Democratic Kamala Harris.
American entrepreneur Elon Musk hinted that Russian President Vladimir Putin might not favor Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming U.S. elections.
Musk made the remark on September 5, as reports surfaced of the Russian government allegedly transferring $10 million to a U.S. political party-affiliated firm. Speculation suggested the firm might be linked to MAGA Republicans.
Elon Musk Says “Putin Must Not Want Trump Elected”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) dated September 5, Musk stated, “Putin must not want Trump elected.” This comment came amid a debate about the $10 million payment from Russia.
Harry Sisson, a well-known Democratic supporter, speculated that “a company with a number of HUGE MAGA Republican creators allegedly got $10 million from the Russian government to spread Russian propaganda.”
However, author Ashley St. Clair countered, “These were not ‘MAGA Republicans’ and the creators, by the DOJ’s own indictment, are victims.”
St. Clair claimed the scheme’s leader had advised followers to withhold votes for Trump. Musk’s statement seemed to support Ashley’s view, suggesting that Putin could be behind the plot.
In another X post by FirstSquawk on the same day, it was noted that Putin implied, “Biden recommended to support Harris, we will do the same.”
DOGE Price Jumps As Republican Party Leads Over Kamala Harris
According to Polymarket data, Donald Trump’s odds of winning increased to 53%, while Democratic candidate Kamala Harris trailed with 46%, reflecting the nation’s preference.
Elon Musk reinforced optimism for Trump’s campaign, saying in a September 5 post by DogeDesigner, “I have never been materially active in politics before, but this time I think civilization as we know it is on the line. If we want to preserve freedom and a meritocracy in America, then Trump must win.” Musk also expressed his intent to support Trump’s efforts to audit U.S. federal agencies if he wins the election.
As these developments unfolded, Dogecoin saw a 2% price increase, trading at $0.09772, despite recent whale sell-offs.
