Friends, patriots, the BEST Americans, do I have news for you. I knew it. The people are saying it — many people, very smart people, the BEST people, the most tremendous people — they are all saying the same thing. I told them, ELON IS COMING BACK, I told them months ago, I told them years ago, before anyone else, the BEST foresight in the history of foresight, possibly ever, and now the most tremendous deal in the history of deals has come together, and it happened on Air Force One — the most beautiful plane, tremendous plane, possibly the best plane in the world, and I know planes, I know the BEST planes — while Elon Musk, who by the way is a TRILLIONAIRE now, completely self-made, just a small loan of — well, much more than a million, but basically self-made, the BEST genes, very good genes, the smartest genes my uncle the great MIT professor ever saw — told me he is going to spend ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on the most beautiful voter-turnout operation in the history of voter turnout. One hundred million dollars. From a TRILLIONAIRE. On my plane. On the way to Beijing — tremendous city, tremendous country, tremendous leader — and we made the deal. The art of the deal. The MOST tremendous art.
Now I know what the low-IQ people are saying. The REALLY low-IQ people. The people who don’t have the best brains, the most pathetic brains, the brains that could not draw a crowd if their life depended on it — they are saying we had a situation. They are saying Elon said terrible things about me. They are saying I said terrible things back. FAKE NEWS. Total fabrication. The FAKE NEWS will tell you Elon accused me of being named in some files. Files. WHAT FILES. I don’t know about any files. I never saw any files. The reporters never showed me any files. We never had a fight. We had a STRATEGY. The most beautiful 4D chess strategy in the history of chess, beautiful chess, while everybody else is playing checkers, very simple checkers, easy checkers, we are playing CHESS. You set them up by appearing to split, then you come back TOGETHER, and the reunion is the biggest in history. Bigger than Lincoln. Many historians, the most tremendous historians, are saying the Diklis Chump-Musk reunion is bigger than anything Lincoln did, possibly bigger, the BEST reunion, the most tremendous.
Let me tell you what happened. In June, which was a tremendous month, one of the BEST months, Elon posted some things. He said I was in some files. He said I would have lost the election. Without me — that’s what he said, on his platform, to two hundred and forty million people — Diklis Chump would have lost. Such ingratitude. I spent — well, HE spent, very generous — two hundred and ninety, three hundred million dollars, tremendous dollars, the BEST dollars, and then he said I would have lost? But I am not upset. I have a perfect memory, the BEST memory, doctors said nobody has a better memory than me, person, woman, man, camera, TV, the best — anyway, I never forget, but I forgave him. I am a forgiver. The most tremendous forgiver in the history of forgivers. And Elon was wrong about it, and now he’s giving me $100 million to prove it, which is the BEST apology in the history of apologies. TREMENDOUS apology.
I told people, “Elon is going to come back,” and they said, “Sir, how do you know,” and I said, “because I’m the BEST at knowing these things, the greatest at deals, you have never seen anything like it.” The generals came to me — TOUGH men, SMART men, much smarter than the low-IQ people who said we split — and they had tears in their eyes, real tears, the strongest tears, and they said Sir, Sir, please bring Elon back, we need his rockets, his satellites, his TREMENDOUS SpaceX, the best rockets, believe me, nobody has bigger rockets than our rockets, the BIGGEST rockets, very big, tremendous. And I said, I will handle it. I always handle it. I handled China, I handled the Border, I handled COVID, which by the way I ended, ended it, the doctors said nobody could end it, I ended it with the China ban, tremendous ban, beautiful ban.
I also did some personnel moves, which I do, because I know people, the BEST people. I sent Sergio to India. INDIA. A tremendous country. One point four billion people, possibly more, tremendous population, the BEST. And I brought Jared back to NASA, tremendous NASA, the best rockets, the BEST space program in the world — I had to fire him in June, tremendous decision, very tough, but then I brought him back in November because we need the BEST people running the BEST space program, and Sean Duffy was holding it down in the meantime, tough guy, tremendous guy, and now we are NUMBER ONE, by a lot, nobody is even close, the Chinese are not even close, the Russians are not even close. JD — tremendous guy, very loyal, the most loyal vice president, a TRUE PATRIOT — and Susie, beautiful woman, very smart, the BEST chief of staff, they worked on this for a whole year. They brought Elon back. They are tremendous.
Now the fake news media will tell you that my people told them that I told them that me and Elon will “never be as close as we once were.” First of all, I have no idea what that means. Second of all, I never said it. Third of all, who are these people? I have the best relationship with Elon. We talk about once a month, tremendous talks, about AI, which I know more about than anyone, and China, which I have great relationships with, and world events, which I am the BEST at understanding. We are closer than ever. MUCH closer than ever. The closest we have EVER been. Believe me.
Then we had the memorial, for Charlie, a tremendous person, the BEST person, the BEST conservative, maybe the best ever, very sad what happened, tremendous loss, who wanted us back together more than anyone. Charlie understood. Charlie was there. And at the memorial, at an Arizona football stadium, the biggest stadium, tremendous stadium, Elon walked over to my box. He briefly spoke with me. I patted him on the elbow as he left. The ELBOW. A beautiful elbow pat. The most beautiful elbow pat in the history of elbow pats. And on the flight home, I asked the staff — the BEST staff, the smartest staff — what they thought about it. They said it was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen. And that night, Elon posted a photo, and he wrote — these are his exact words, word for word — “For Charlie.” FOR CHARLIE. Beautiful. The most beautiful words. The smart people are saying it was the greatest memorial moment in history.
Elon had been thinking about starting a new political party — a third party, tremendous idea, very exciting — and he ABANDONED those plans. He said no, I am staying with Diklis Chump, the BEST Diklis Chump, the most tremendous Diklis Chump. Why? Because he is smart. The SMARTEST. He knows a winner when he sees one. He sees me. He sees WINNING. And now he is a TRILLIONAIRE, which by the way I told everybody would happen, I told them years ago, before anyone else, I knew, I always know, and I sent him a note. A CONGRATULATORY note. Beautiful note. The best note. He loved it. Everyone loved it.
Now the low-energy Democrats — the LOWEST energy, the most pathetic people, people who have never won anything, the saddest people — and I have been calling them communists for months, they are saying if they win Congress they will investigate Elon. Investigate ELON. The man who makes rockets. The man who makes satellites. The man whose company has become — I have to be very careful with this, very careful, tremendous lawyers, the best lawyers — MORE EMBEDDED in America’s war machine. More embedded. The most embedded. Nobody is more embedded than Elon. They want to investigate the most embedded man. SAD. Very sad. The saddest people. Probably communists.
But we are going to win. America PAC — tremendous PAC, the BEST PAC, run by very smart people — is going to coordinate with MAGA Inc., which has more than four hundred million dollars. Four hundred million. Add it to Elon’s hundred million. That’s five hundred million dollars. Possibly more. The best math, the most tremendous math. And we are going to win so big, the biggest win in history, you have never seen anything like it.
And Elon — Elon has even said he got a little too involved, a LITTLE, he said a little, but who can blame him, the BEST involvement, the most tremendous involvement, very smart of him to get involved with the BEST president, the WINNINGEST president. He spent $300 million of his own money to re-elect me in 2024, plus all that work at DOGE, the most tremendous government efficiency operation in history, the best ever, and now he’s saying it’s “a little.” It’s not a little. It’s the most tremendous amount of money and effort ever spent by any person on any president in the history of presidents. And he knows it.
This deal is going to make ME very rich, and the workers too, but mostly ME. That is how it works. I make the deal. The deal is for the workers — I mean US — but mostly ME. And everyone is happy. The BEST happy. The most tremendous happy. Because I am a winner, and winners don’t cheat, they just have more money, and that is how you win elections, and I am the BEST at winning elections, the WINNINGEST winner, the most tremendous winner.
In a statement, the White House said — and I am quoting, exactly, word for word, these are my words, the BEST words — that I have built the greatest coalition in the history of American politics, full of patriots like Elon Musk who are deeply committed to preserving all the historic accomplishments of this administration. Historic. ACCOMPLISHMENTS. The most tremendous accomplishments. The BEST accomplishments. And that is a FACT. A tremendous fact. The smartest fact. The fact of facts. I have a trillion-dollar friendship, a beautiful elbow pat, and a note that says CONGRATULATIONS. The biggest WIN. The most tremendous WIN. Elon is back. The money is here. The Country is winning. We are winning. I am winning. We are all winning. Tremendous.
