Musk has donated more than $276 million since early July to support Republican candidates in the midterm elections, according to a New York Times report published earlier this week.
US President Donald Trump took a swipe at Elon Musk’s intelligence during a campaign rally in Arizona, calling the billionaire an “80% super genius” and saying the remaining 20% has “a little problem”. Aiming at Hobbs, Trump called her “horrible” and a “dumb person” before contrasting her intelligence with Musk’s. I deal from Elon down to Katie,” Trump said. “Elon’s 80 percent super genius, and 20 percent he has a little problem, ” I always tell him. A spokesperson for Musk told the newspaper that the spending was necessary to prevent Democrats from gaining control of Congress.
“I know smart people. He’s a great guy, though,” he added. You use AI every day. Now get your AI Quotient. Take the AIQ test.
Trump made the remarks during a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, on Wednesday, while campaigning for Congressman Andy Biggs, who is running against Democratic incumbent Katie Hobbs for governor.
