US President Joe Biden turned his positive COVID-19 test into a political statement targeting Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump.
Earlier it came to light that President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19. Shortly after news broke of Biden’s diagnosis, he took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express his frustration. “I’m sick,” Biden wrote in his initial post, referencing his current health situation. However, he quickly pivoted to a broader political message, adding, “of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election. And if you agree, pitch in here.”
The post was accompanied by images of both Musk and Trump, along with a link to a donation page for Biden’s 2024 campaign.
Musk has been vocal about supporting Trump in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. On Saturday, Musk endorsed Trump in a post on X, which came in the wake of a violent incident at a rally in Pennsylvania where a gunman fired at the former President.
Musk has also been critical of Biden’s age and immigration policies on the social media platform, and he has expressed frequent support for Trump’s presidential bid.
