'I'm sick...': Biden uses his Covid diagnosis to take a dig at Donald Trump and Elon Musk
Biden, Trump and Musk
US President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19. He will be lying low until he recovers, but the Democrat doesn't seem to be in the mood to take a break from all the campaigning for the presidential elections. In a post on X, Biden took a jab at his Republican rival Donald Trump and the owner of X, Elon Musk.
In his post, Biden wrote, “I’m sick", informing people about his diagnosis. However, later, commenting on his own post,Biden wrote, "of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election."
Sharing a link to donate to his campaign, Biden added, "And if you agree, pitch in here," with a photo of Trump and Musk and the words "Defeat Trump" on it.
Notably, Musk has been backing Trump ever since he survived an assassination attempt at a campaign rally. “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote.
He also floated a bizarre idea to create an Iron Man-style suit of armour to keep Trump safe.
