American businessman and billionaire Elon Musk claimed that traditional Western media lied about Donald Trump, advising those who found the Republican candidate’s results “shocking” to reconsider their information sources.
“Anyone, whether in America or elsewhere, who finds these results shocking should reevaluate their information sources. Nearly all mainstream media promoted a completely false reality. They lied to you,” Musk wrote on his platform, X.
In recent years, Musk has become more politically active, frequently commenting on U.S. politics on his social media network, X.
For anyone, whether in America or other countries, who finds this result shocking, they should reconsider where they get their information.
This trend was obvious on 𝕏 for months, but almost all the legacy mainstream media pushed a completely false reality.

While Musk has publicly criticized both Democrats and Republicans, stating that he does not fully support either party, his views have leaned increasingly “rightward” over time. By 2024, he openly expressed support for the Republican Party.
Additionally, Musk founded the political action committee “America PAC” to support Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has declared victory in the U.S. elections, addressing his supporters in West Palm Beach and stating that “history has been made.”
“We’ve made history. This is the greatest political movement in this country’s history, and now it’s reaching a new level because we will help our country heal,” Trump said.
“We will secure the borders and everything else,” he added, announcing that he has become the 47th president of the United States.
