Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, said Thursday that after switching from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, she was relieved to no longer be part of a party that some consider “evil and dishonest.” .

Maye was a guest on “The Bottom Line” on the FOX Business Channel on Thursday, where she was asked about the driving force that made her more conservative.

“When I became an American citizen, of course I was Democratic because they give you that option and because they are good, kind people who care about America,” Maye told the hosts, explaining that she would watch and read CNN, MSNBC . The New York Times, which portrayed Republicans as terrible. “But then they also said Elon is terrible, and I thought, why are they lying about Elon?”

“They really impressed upon me that they just didn’t know what they were doing,” she said. “When I resigned from the Democrats, I felt such relief that I am not part of the party that is now evil and dishonest. And my biggest fear is the fraud they commit at the voting booths.”

Elon bought Twitter in 2023 before renaming it X. Since then, the platform has become a space where people can speak and say whatever they want, as long as it is legal.

He has also become a strong supporter of former President Trump during this election cycle.

At the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Elon announced that he wants to reduce at least $2 trillion in government waste, although not everyone believes this will be possible.

Maye was asked Thursday whether she thought her son could find $2 trillion or even $1.5 trillion in fraud, waste and abuse in the U.S. government.

“I think over $2 trillion. I think he was just humble. I mean, look what he’s done with Twitter and X. It’s incredible,” she said. “And then of course Tesla was an idiotic thing to do, and we’ve heard it’s idiotic. SpaceX was idiotic. And how is he doing now?”

As Elon’s mother, Maye has been able to see his ability to run his business as he attended a full day of meetings at SpaceX and watched the engineers enthusiastically present ideas while also listening to Elon’s ideas.

“They have a CEO who will listen to them or give them permission to make a change,” she said. “And the same goes for Tesla.”

Yet, while Elon continues to be associated with Trump, several media outlets published articles on Thursday about him and how he turned X into a pro-Trump echo chamber. Maye was asked if she’s worried about her son with all these reports coming out from those who go against his views and make themselves targets.

“I always worry about Elon, but remember: Biden is on X. Kamala Harris is on X… all the Democrats are on X,” she said. “It’s horrifying, and as a mother it terrifies me.”
