Elon Musk says Trump will win by LANDSLIDE in 2024 if arrested

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has backed former president Donald Trump for a ‘landslide victory’ if he is handcuffed and arrested by the Manhattan DA.

Trump said he will be arrested on Tuesday over claims he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.

Last week the former president and 2024 hopeful was invited to testify before a Manhattan grand jury, with his long-time fixer and former lawyer Michael Cohen testifying on Monday.

He claimed on his Truth Social account that the Manhattan DA’s office will arrest him within days and branded the probe ‘corrupt and highly political’, calling the alleged hush money payment an ‘old and fully debunked fairy-tale.’

Many have been questioning if they will see the 76-year-old former president in handcuffs – with Musk now saying the move could get him re-elected.

Musk said if Trump was seen in handcuffs and arrested it would mean he would be re-elected in a ‘landslide victory’

Republican Marjorie Taylor Green also commented on the announcement, saying Trump will ‘ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to’.

She said Republicans who do not support the former president will be ‘exposed’ and ‘remembered, scorned and punished’ by the party.

The Georgia Rep added: ‘Biden’s DOJ is coordinating with the Democrat Manhattan DA to arrest Donald Trump, the top Republican Presidential candidate for 2024, and charge him with a fake outdated misdemeanor charge.’

Many Republicans believe the rumored indictment is a plot to kill the former president’s re-election hopes – but some believe it will help him win despite calls for him to withdraw from the 2024 race if he is indicted.

Earlier this week lawyer Alan Dershowitz said indicting the former president would be ‘targeted injustice’ by the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

Writing for New York The Sun, he said: ‘After spending months searching the criminal code for a law that Mr. Trump might be accused of violating, Mr. Bragg has apparently landed on a highly questionable campaign contribution provision that has never before been used in a comparable situation.

‘All decent people, whether politically opposed to Mr. Trump (as I am) or supportive of his candidacy, should be concerned about this weaponizing of the prosecutor’s office for the political purpose of preventing a potential candidate from running for office.

‘Today this insidious tactic is being used by a Democratic prosecutor against a Republican candidate. In 2016, efforts were made to use it against the Democratic candidate.

‘No one knows who tomorrow’s target will be, since the precedent will ‘lie around like a loaded weapon,’ to be misused by any ambitious prosecutor in a partisan manner.’

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung blasted the investigation as a ‘witch hunt’ and accused Bragg of being in the pocket of President Biden and ‘radical Democrats.’

He added: ‘President Donald J. Trump is completely innocent, he did nothing wrong, and even the biggest, most Radical Left Democrats are making that clear.’
