In a shocking revelation, Venezuelan President Maduro accused Elon Musk of investing at least one billion dollars in a coup to overthrow the government. Following his re-election on July 28, Maduro claimed that the US government and Musk were behind the violent attempts to destabilize the country.
Maduro alleged that Musk’s social media accounts incited violence, arson, and murder, with funds being allocated to terrorist groups through opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Despite the chaos, Maduro declared that “law, truth, sovereignty, order, and peace have prevailed in Venezuela.”
The presidential election in Venezuela resulted in Maduro winning with 51.95% of the vote. However, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado and her supporters refused to recognize the results, leading to riots and attacks against security forces across the country. Maduro firmly pointed the finger at the US and Elon Musk for instigating the failed coup.
