Lara Trump Defends Musk and Trump on Fox News
Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, made headlines after suggesting that Americans should express gratitude toward both her father-in-law and billionaire Elon Musk.
During an appearance on Fox News with host Sean Hannity, Lara Trump dismissed criticisms that Musk was enriching himself and his allies through government decisions. She argued that Musk and Trump were among the few individuals making real sacrifices to reform the country.
“People ought to be kissing the feet of Elon Musk and Donald Trump for being the two people to actually do this,” Lara Trump stated.
She further claimed that Democrats and the political left were losing public support due to their opposition to Musk’s influence in reshaping government structures.
Musk’s Role in Trump’s Administration and Financial Losses
Lara Trump also defended Musk’s actions, asserting that he was financially sacrificing his own wealth for the country’s greater good.
“This guy is losing money because of what he’s doing, but he understands the importance of this moment,” she said.
Reports indicate that Musk’s net worth has dropped by $148 billion since Inauguration Day, with Tesla’s stock price plummeting by 45% this year. Despite this, Lara Trump insisted that Musk was committed to helping the country rather than focusing on personal financial gains.
Donald Trump’s Public Support for Musk and Tesla
Former President Donald Trump also publicly endorsed Musk amid the billionaire’s financial struggles. In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised Musk for his contributions and condemned what he called an unfair boycott against Tesla.
“To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!” Trump wrote.
He further accused the “Radical Left Lunatics” of attempting to harm Musk and his business interests, comparing their treatment of Musk to alleged election interference against himself.
Amid this controversy, Trump announced plans to purchase a Tesla, seemingly as a symbolic gesture of support for Musk’s electric vehicle company.
Conclusion
Lara Trump’s remarks have sparked debate, with supporters applauding her defense of Trump and Musk, while critics argue that her statements reflect an excessive cult of personality around both figures. With Tesla’s stock decline and Musk’s continued influence in Trump’s administration, his role in shaping future policies remains a key point of discussion.
