Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has dismissed the pressure he faced for shutting down X, formerly Twitter, in comparison to the tribulations faced by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

What Happened: Musk made these remarks during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s online show, broadcasted from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Election Day.

In response to questions about the pressure to shut down X, the tech mogul replied with sarcasm.

He noted that, aside from multiple Democrats wanting to jail him, revoke government contracts from his companies, nationalize his businesses, deport him as an illegal immigrant, and arrest him for allegedly being Vladimir Putin's best friend, there wasn't much else.

Musk later shared the video on X and added, “Sure, it was a lot of pressure, but it pales by comparison with President Donald Trump, who they tried to kill twice, bankrupt, and imprison for eternity.”
