Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, Tesla and one of the world’s richest men is now suggesting that former President Trump sit out the 2024 Presidential election for his own good, as well as that of the nation’s.
As MSN reports:
In a series of tweets to his more than 100 million followers, Musk pointed out Trump, now 76, would be 82 by the end of a potential second presidential term. That’s “too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America,” the Tesla Inc. CEO wrote. Musk also said there was “too much drama” when Trump was in office.
I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.
Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency.

Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America.
If DeSantis runs against Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will easily win – he doesn’t even need to campaign.

This marks the first time Musk, who’s also CEO of US government contractor Space Exploration Technologies Corp., has said Trump should forgo another campaign. In an interview with Bloomberg News last month, Musk said he was undecided when asked if he’d back Trump, who has strongly hinted at another run.
Musk, 51, has been increasingly vocal about his leanings the last few months after tweeting in September last year that he preferred to stay out of politics. His latest musings were in response to criticism Trump directed at him this past weekend at a rally in Alaska.
…
During his interview with Bloomberg last month, Musk said he was willing to put roughly $25 million into a political action committee. He tweeted earlier about creating a super PAC to support centrist candidates from all parties. He’s steadily criticized Biden and Democrats for months, claiming the president is beholden to labor unions and the party is undermining his businesses.
Is Musk right that it’s time for the former President to find a graceful exit, or will he be proven wrong when Trump runs and wins again in 2024? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Musk is obviously not very well atuned to older people being in positions of authority. Donald J Trump doesn’t have any Dementia nor does he have any signs of Alzheimer’s. You’re not stating anything about all of the Senators who are in that age range right now. Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Ron Wyden, and a host of others are just as old if not older and not hanging up their hats. Donald Trump plays Golf frequently. His diet isn’t the best, but neither is Elon Musk’s as his tubbiness is showing.
Trump learned his lessons and if the american people will elect him again i think Trump will be more effective and drama is over its just his tactics to win the hearts of people who are already desperate of the kind of government of liberals
Either would win if theres no cheating.
I hate to say it however, Musk has a point! For all the great things that President Trump did for our country, you either love him or hate him with vile. If he runs, and I assume he will, those in the hate category will vote against him no matter whom he is running against. I have a few family members who would vote for Charles Manson before they would vote for Trump. Sad that he lives rent free is so many misguided idiots heads! Mr. Donald J Trump has my vote and always has!
With his experience and amazing string of successes I’ll take President Trump in his 80’s over anyone out there now. I like DeSantis, but there is no one with the qualifications and track record of our GREAT President Trump!
The public (all) should clean their own door step.
We’ll see if Musk hangs his hat up at ’82, easy to say when you are young and have a prejudice against us old folks.
But maybe he is afraid President Trump will win and Make America Great Again. This time he may not be so kind against the lying, cheating, anti-American Democrats, and hold them legally responsible for their violent, treasonous actions.
We need to get behind one man, the best man, and not start an inter-conservative battle. The Democrats would like nothing more.
While wishing that Trump was still in the White House, he probably won’t get the nomination even if he runs. If nominated the commiecrats will find a way to screw him again
A Trump-DeSantis Presidential ticket will regain the White House in 2024. Trump will make the decision based on his health and the results of the 2022 Congressional election. Trump is an extraordinary person and, unlike Biden, has a clear head to lead and solve problems.
LISTEN UP….ELON MUSK Should get HIS OWN AFFAIRS in ORDER before HE JUDGES OTHERS. NO MATTER what AGE a MAN or WOMAN…if THEY can DO Their JOB…MORE POWER to THEM. Besides…GOD’S Blessing is Still with PREZ TRUMP. WHOM GOD has CHOSEN…NO MAN can PUT ASUNDER. From SamuraiQueen aka CHIAKIA. 😄😄😄😇😇😇😉😉😉
He is right. Plus it is not good for the country to have our president attacked every day he would be in office like last time. DeSantis for president, Trump for vice-president. A winning ticket.
I am alarmed to learn musk will pay for his employees abortions, his lack of insight in the political theater and the fact that he has never voted republican. losing hero status quickly
hey E.M. … take your own advice …
Elon should take his own advice. He tricked the people with his “TWITTER” freedom of speech BS.
Urge Trump to be Kingmaker & advisor for 2024
Trump will run again and win. Looking forward to it
I always liked Elon Musk but on this I personally think he’s wrong. Trump is
our only hope in at this time it will take a business man like before to bring
the country back from the brink of disaster. Desantis should ether run as VP
or remain Gov. of FLORIDA he doesn’t have the business acumen that Trump
has. Personally I think they discussing all this as we speak, stay tuned.
musk his proving he is no astute political observer. he never voted for Republicans, will pay for employee abortions and thinks there was too much drama doing Trump’s time in office. Hey musk, in 1-1/2 years of biden dick with ears- you don’t see more drama???????????????? The shine is coming off musk’s genius. He is a socialist, marxist and commie. Get out of china!
