Breaking News: Mary Trump Exposes Elon Musk as Uncle Donald’s ‘New Owner’… See More

The estranged niece of former President Donald Trump, Mary Trump, published a scathing critique on her Substack blog on Saturday, sounding the alarm about tech billionaire Elon Musk’s growing influence over her uncle’s quest to return to the White House in 2024.

In her blog post titled, “Donald’s New Owner” Mary Trump writes that her uncle has always been susceptible to financial influence and that he “has always been for sale,” adding that “it used to be shocking how many people were willing to prop him up in the hopes of profiting off his increasingly seamy ventures.”

She pointed to a Friday report from The New York Times revealing regular communication between Musk and the former president, along with significant financial contributions to Trump’s campaign.

According to Mary Trump, Musk, who owns X, formerly Twitter, has already invested at least $140 million in America PAC, a political action committee supporting Trump’s campaign efforts. She claims that this figure could potentially balloon to $500 million, based on statements attributed to her uncle.

Meanwhile, Mary Trump doesn’t mince words to describe the tech entrepreneur, referring to Musk as “the world’s richest fascist” and a “South African jumping bean.” She claims that Musk’s interest in supporting her uncle stems from a desire to gain influence over potential future government policies.

“In exchange for Donald’s willingness to throw Musk the keys to the federal government, Musk is throwing a considerable fortune, as well as the weight of Twitter’s influence, behind the Republican candidate,” Mary Trump writes.

In her blog post, she also characterizes this business arrangement as a “devil’s bargain,” drawing parallels to Trump’s alleged connections with other powerful figures, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Mary Trump accuses the billionaire of actively working to “keep the American electorate as ignorant as possible” through his control of X, alleging that the Trump campaign is coordinating with Musk to suppress or remove unfavorable stories.

The blog post also highlights recent activities by Musk-funded entities, including the America PAC’s distribution of cash to voters in Philadelphia, which she describes as a “maybe-legal-but-sketchy-anyway scheme to spread pro-Trump dollars around in critical swing states.”
