Summary
Donald Trump falsely linked the New Orleans truck attack, carried out by U.S. Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, to immigration, despite authorities confirming no connection to the border.
Trump’s claims followed a retracted Fox News report and contradicted FBI findings that Jabbar, a U.S. citizen, acted alone in what is being investigated as terrorism.
Trump doubled down on Truth Social, blaming Biden’s border policies and proclaiming, “Trump was right about everything.”
An ISIS flag was found on the vehicle, with the FBI probing potential ties to terrorist organizations.
I understand your comment as implying that Trump will make Musk eligible for the US presidency. If that is what you mean, I agree with you there.
Most of the ultrawealthy seem to prefer having someone else in the political limelight and pulling the strings from the backstage, probably to keep a semblance –however faint– of democratic legitimacy. Musk is being a loud exception, meddling in broad political daylight all over the world, and I would not put it past Trump to enable him as his successor if the two of them stay on good terms and Musk does not become too much of a toxic asset.
