After Biden withdrew from the election, Musk tweeted:

Previously, after Trump's assassination attempt, Musk publicly expressed support for Trump. The Wall Street Journal also reported that Musk planned to donate about $45 million a month to a political action committee supporting Trump's presidential election to help Trump.

You guys know Elon, I love Elon Musk, he supported me the other day, he's great. I saw his rocket landing three years ago while watching TV. If it were left to the government, you wouldn't see that for another 50 to 100 years.
In addition, although Musk personally denied donating $45 million a month to help Trump, Trump said in his speech:
Musk gave me $45 million a month, and he didn’t even tell me that if someone else gave you $2, you would have to treat them to a meal.
Will Musk attend the Bitcoin conference with Trump?
It is worth noting that the three-day Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee will officially launch on the 25th. Trump, who has repeatedly stated his support for Bitcoin, is scheduled to give a speech on the 27th and may mention his Cryptocurrency policy.
