The US political world exploded after Elon Musk suddenly made a shocking statement: former President Donald Trump did not take a vacation or receive normal treatment as previously announced. On the contrary, according to Musk, he suffered a serious stroke and was forced to recover in absolute secrecy.
This statement was made by Musk in a live stream on the X platform (formerly Twitter), just a few days after rumors about Trump’s “6-day disappearance” spread. In a serious tone, Musk said: “The American people deserve to know the truth. This was not a vacation, not normal treatment. He really had a stroke.”
The online community immediately went into an uproar. The hashtags #TrumpStroke and #MuskReveals climbed straight to the top of global trends in just 30 minutes. Many people called for an independent investigation, demanding the release of Trump’s medical records. Others are skeptical: is Musk dropping a “political bomb” to influence the upcoming election?
Major media outlets have jumped on the bandwagon. CNN called it an “unprecedented bombshell,” while Fox News asked: “Does Elon Musk have any concrete evidence, or is this just a hit from the tech world?”
If Musk’s revelation is true, the concealment of a former president’s health – and a strong candidate’s – would not only be a medical-political scandal, but could also be seen as a national security threat.
A political expert commented: “Trump has survived many crises, but if this is indeed a stroke, the question is not just whether he will recover, but how much the American people’s trust has been damaged.”
