In a surprising but telling moment, former U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines by stating he has no intention of giving up his Tesla or Starlink services, and offered public praise to Elon Musk, calling him a “brilliant guy” and wishing him well.
During a recent interview, Trump — known for his fiery rhetoric and America-first policies — expressed admiration for Musk’s achievements in the private tech sector. While they haven’t always seen eye-to-eye politically, the former president’s tone toward Musk appears to have softened significantly.
“I won’t be getting rid of my Tesla. It’s a great car. Starlink is impressive. I wish Elon Musk the best,” Trump said.
Tech Over Politics
Despite their past disagreements — particularly over regulatory issues and free speech policies — Trump’s comments signal a broader shift in how political figures are increasingly acknowledging the indispensable role of technology entrepreneurs in shaping America’s future.
Musk’s Tesla has revolutionized electric vehicles (EVs) and clean energy, while Starlink, under SpaceX, is bringing low-latency satellite internet to underserved areas across the globe — including rural America, parts of Africa, and possibly South Asia in the near future.
Relevance for Bangladesh
Elon Musk’s projects — especially Starlink — hold strategic relevance for developing countries like Bangladesh. With the potential to offer high-speed satellite internet in remote or disaster-prone areas, Starlink could complement the nation’s Digital Bangladesh vision.
Trump’s comments might be rooted in American pride, but the global ripple effect of tech diplomacy is very real. Positive political sentiment toward innovators like Musk can influence cross-border investment, regulatory policy, and adoption of emerging technologies — including blockchain and crypto, both of which Musk has voiced support for.

“When tech and politics align, innovation thrives. Trump’s endorsement — intentional or not — gives Musk even more political capital, and that could shape how Web3 infrastructure like Starlink or even Dogecoin fits into the global digital economy.”
