'New star is born' - Donald Trump lauds Elon Musk | US Elections 2024

Donald Trump on Musk: During his victory speech in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump thanked Elon Musk , referring to the Tesla CEO as ‘a new star is born.’ 

Sharing an anecdote from a recent spacecraft landing from SpaceX, Trump said, “So I took the phone down and I was looking at the screen and I saw this crazy thing that's going around and down. I thought it was a Space Age movie or something. I put the phone down but I didn't pick it up for 45 minutes and he was holding. But this spaceship came down and I saw those engines firing and it looked like it was over. It was going to smash and then I saw the fire pour out from the left side and it put it straight and it came down so gently and then it wrapped those arms around it and it held it. And just like you hold your baby at night, you know.” 

“And it was a beautiful thing to see,” said Trump. 

“And I called I said was that you Elon? He said yes, it was. I said. Who else can do that? Can Russia do it? No, can China do it? No, can the United States do it other than you know, nobody can do that. I say that's why I love you, Elon, that's great,” added Trump.
