In addition to the news media publications, Trump has also received an endorsement from X, formerly Twitter. With Elon Musk in his corner, the former president has seen an increase in the rise of his campaign’s social media presence. Recently, Pennsylvania state Senator John Fetterman emphasised the significance of the Tesla CEO’s endorsement of Trump in the 2024 race.

“And now [Elon] Musk is joining him. I mean, to a lot of people, that’s Tony Stark. That’s the world’s richest guy. And he’s obviously, and undeniably, a brilliant guy, and he’s saying, Hey, that’s my guy for president. That’s going to really matter,” Fetterman told the New York Times on Sunday.
