Billionaire Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, has formally endorsed President Donald Trump following an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania on Saturday. According to Fox News, Ackman’s endorsement post has garnered over 19 million views since it was posted late Saturday night.
This endorsement follows Elon Musk’s announcement of his full support for Trump after the attempt on Trump’s life. Ackman noted that many of his followers on X already recognized his support for Trump and his criticisms of President Biden from his previous posts.
Ackman explained that he hadn’t formally endorsed Trump earlier because he wanted to elaborate on his reasoning and address counterarguments against Trump. In a subsequent X post on Sunday, Ackman emphasized the importance of standing up and being counted. He mentioned that he had not felt the urgency to write a detailed post before the shooting at a Trump rally, which resulted in injuries to Trump and several attendees.
Ackman highlighted the significance of the upcoming presidential election, calling it one of the most consequential in his lifetime, and urged voters to keep an open mind. He plans to provide a more detailed explanation of his position in the future.
