Mary Trump, the niece of former President Donald Trump, took a hard swing at Elon Musk, calling him “the world’s richest fascist” and a “South African jumping bean” in a scathing post on her Substack blog. She claims that Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), has effectively become a key backer of her uncle’s re-election campaign.
‘Trump Always Been For Sale’
In the blog post, titled “Donald’s New Owner,” Mary accuses Musk of pumping tens of millions into Trump’s campaign, furthering her longstanding critique of her uncle. According to Mary, Trump has always been “for sale” and is now beholden to Musk, who is allegedly in regular contact with the former president.
As per The Daily Beast, reports suggest that Musk has contributed $140 million to America PAC, a political action committee supporting Trump, with speculation that his financial backing could surge to $500 million as election day nears.

Musk Declares Himself ‘Dark MAGA’
Once a critic of Trump, Musk has seemingly shifted his stance, even going so far as to embrace the “Dark MAGA” movement, a far-right faction of Trump supporters. During a recent rally in Pennsylvania, Musk appeared on stage with Trump, declaring himself not only MAGA but “Dark MAGA.”
Mary Trump suggests that Musk’s support stems from a desire to influence future government policies, accusing the billionaire of striking a “devil’s bargain” with her uncle. She also linked Musk’s actions to broader efforts by other powerful figures, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

‘Maybe-Legal-But-Sketchy-Anyway’
The blog further alleges that pro-Trump PACs funded by Musk are engaging in questionable practices, such as distributing money to voters in key swing states like Pennsylvania. Mary described these actions as “maybe-legal-but-sketchy-anyway,” suggesting they are part of a larger strategy to sway the election.
Mary, a psychologist, has consistently voiced concerns about her uncle’s mental state, claiming that Trump is “untethered from reality.” She highlighted a recent incident where Trump gave an incoherent answer about child care at the Economic Club of New York, reinforcing her view that his cognitive abilities are in decline.
