“It is not personal, they are just business”, and when the money comes into play there are few who remember friends or even blood ties, and a businessman such as Donald Trump will not let out The opportunity to make easy money.
As reported from The Wall Street Journal, X (historically known as Twitter) and company owned by Elon Musk, has reached an agreement with Donald Trump After the demand that the US president filed against the company after the suspension of his profile in said social networkfor being the “instigator” of the assault on the Capitol.
Twitter was not the only one affected by these demands, since Trump did the same with goal and YouTube which also vetoed the president’s profiles on these platforms. The lawyers of the now president defended that these apps had violated their rights of the first amendment.
Now, and despite the narrow and good relationship between both magnates (or that is what it seems), Musk’s company has reached an agreement to pay around 10 million dollars as compensation to Trump and to set out this issue. The news comes shortly after it was known that Meta, Mark Zukcerberg’s company, had also reached an agreement, but this time The amount paid to the president amounted to 25 million dollars.
It should be noted that Trump’s complaint to Twitter was filed before the famous and controversial purchase of social network musk, So at that time the president wanted to get the money to another person. Remember that it is estimated that The owner of Tesla invested around 250 million dollars throughout 2024 for the presidential campaign Trump, like one of the first measures as a new Twitter owner was to reinstate the account of this.
While there is a clear favoritism of Trump with Musk with respect to the rest of the technological magnates, 10 million are 10 million. This could be the second “encounter” between the two, after Musk did not like Trump to invest public money in a project where his current archNienemigo, Sam Altman from Open AI is located.
