Many celebrities have recently endorsed Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign as the election race surges into its most tense period.
Household names such as Elon Musk, Lil Wayne, and Dana White are all known advocates of the former president, but Gen Z celebrities like Adin Ross and Jake Paul have also endorsed Trump on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Celebrities have large followings and, therefore, influence, and their voices can help turn the election in favor of the candidate they would prefer to see in the Oval Office.
Notable celebrities who have endorsed Trump
Plenty of big names have come out in support of Donald Trump’s 2024 election bid. The celebrities come from all walks of life, as several musicians and sports stars, Americans and Latinos alike, have made their endorsement of Trump known to the world.
Elon Musk
Perhaps the most notable Trump supporter right now is Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Musk endorsed Trump’s candidacy back when he was almost assassinated at a rally in a post on X that said, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.”
Musk’s support of Trump has the potential to become more than just an endorsement. Trump said in a speech on Thursday that he and Musk have agreed that the Tesla CEO will head a task force that will recommend reform and conduct “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government.”
Musk said in a post on X Thursday, “I look forward to serving America if the opportunity arises. No pay, no title, no recognition is needed.”
Lil Wayne
Rapper Lil Wayne has also endorsed Trump, and the two have had friendly relations since the end of Trump’s presidential term in 2020.
In a post on X made in 2020, Lil Wayne said he had a meeting with Trump and said, “Besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured us he would and could get it done.”
Before he left the White House, Trump pardoned Lil Wayne for a charge of possessing a firearm, keeping the superstar out of prison.
Adin Ross
Streamer Adin Ross had a live stream with Trump in August and even gifted him a Tesla Cybertruck and a Rolex.
Trump and Ross’ stream peaked at over 500,000 viewers, according to the Hollywood Reporter, and the two talked about several topics including US relations with foreign nations and immigration policy.
Trump interviewed with Ross because his sons are all fans of the streamer. His youngest son, Baron, said, “Dad, he’s really big.”
Jake and Logan Paul
The Paul brothers have both endorsed Donald Trump’s campaign, with Jake Paul even donating $10,000.
Logan Paul said in a post on X following the assassination attempt on Trump, “To survive an assassination attempt by mere millimeters then stop your security so you can raise your fist in defiance of death is the most badass thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Trump also appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive, where they discussed the rise of artificial intelligence and aliens.
Anuel AA
During a rally on August 30 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Reggaeton Star Anuel AA took the stage alongside Trump and fellow reggaeton artist Justin Quiles.
Wearing a Make America Great Cap, the Puerto Rican superstar said, “My Puerto Ricans, let’s stay united, let’s vote for Trump. I personally spoke with him. He wants to help Puerto Rico grow and succeed as a country. So let’s stand all tall and united, and we all know, remember that. He wants to continue helping Latinos in the US. Let’s do things the right way, and let’s keep growing, let’s keep growing as a family, and let’s make America great again.”
Justin Quiles
Justin Quiles also wore a MAGA cap while on stage at the August 30 rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Quiles called Trump “The most honest president we ever had.”
“Saying things how they are, not what you think people want to hear, and that’s very important. A lot of Latinos, we stand strong next to President Trump. Thank you for sharing back there how important building Puerto Rico up again is, and not just Puerto Rico- let’s make America great again,” Quiles said at the rally.
Dana White
UFC CEO Dana White endorsed Donald Trump back in July. At the Republican National Convention in 2024, he said that Trump is the “toughest, most resilient human being I’ve ever met in my life.”
Dana White has always been outspoken regarding his support of Trump. He endorsed him back in 2016 and also spoke at the RNC that year.
