“And number two, because this man (Elon Musk) devoted his energy and his life to it,” Trump continued.

The Republican continued to praise Musk, saying that “a very small group of people are very unprofitable.”

“And I just want people to know that he could not be punished for the patriot,” Trump said. “And he’s a great patriot. And he also did an incredible job with Tesla.”
