Why has Elon Musk, whose Twitter/X is reportedly bleeding ad revenue, gone all in on supporting misinformation maven Donald Trump? Why is he bouncing around stages wearing multiple shades of MAGA hat?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz hit out against billionaire Elon Musk, who has become a fixture on the campaign trial with Donald Trump, at a rally on Tuesday. “Elon’s on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dips–t,” Walz said at the rally in Madison, Wisconsin.

He’s very intelligent, very innovative. He understands what’s happening to the United States. And he truly cares about the future of our country,” one Trump supporter said of Musk at a Pennsylvania rally.
