MANILA, Philippines – As election day nears for Americans, several big names and celebrities have already publicly backed candidates in hopes that they could influence voters in favor of their chosen candidates.
Here is a list of celebrities and big names in music, pop culture, social media, and sports that have endorsed Republican candidate and former US president Donald Trump:
Elon Musk
Elon Musk — the businessman behind Tesla and SpaceX, and the one who recently bought Twitter (now X) — threw his support behind Trump following a foiled assassination attempt last July 14.
He has since changed his bio on X to: “Read @America to understand why I’m supporting Trump for President.” Musk has also been active on the platform to promote Trump’s campaign.

A half-Century ago, it was an honor to serve my country in the effort to put a human being on the Moon. I am proud of what we accomplished then and I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of an enduring human presence in space – it is a calling that runs…
