"Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki who endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 election and has co-authored two books with the former president, on Saturday took to Twitter to extend his support for Elon Musk.
What Happened: The best-selling author questioned why Silicon Valley’s "WOKE" feared Musk, apparently referring to tech companies opposing the world’s richest man.
After Musk took over Twitter, many companies paused advertising on the platform. The Tesla CEO himself tweeted this week about Apple pausing most ads on Twitter and threatening to pull the Twitter app from its App Store.
“Musk is an entrepreneur. He does not need a job or money,” Kiyosaki said.
