Rosie O'Donnell questioned how Donald Trump won every swing country in the 2024 presidential election, considering his biggest supporters.
In an interview with RTéOne's “late party” she said she questioned “why” Trump “winned every swing state” during his re-election, considering that one of his “best friends” and “biggest donor” and “biggest donor” is “a person who owns and runs the internet.” Although the name has never been mentioned, O'Donnell is likely referring to X owner Elon Musk.

Musk's final statistics on Trump's campaign totaled as high as $280 million. Musk is the largest donor in the 2024 presidential campaign, according to FEC documents.

It's really scary. But the biggest reason for this with his first in office is because the Supreme Court gave him the ultimate power of the king or monarch, ultimate power, that's not everything in the United States. America.”
