Veteran actor Jon Voight, known for his staunch support of former President Donald Trump, has now turned his admiration toward tech mogul Elon Musk. In a heartfelt video shared widely on X (formerly Twitter), Voight called Musk “a man of dignity, truth, and honor” and commended his contributions to the nation.
“Elon Musk is a kind soul, a gentle giant,” Voight declared in the video. He went on to criticize the media, calling them “a disgrace” for what he described as twisting narratives and spreading harmful propaganda. “This false propaganda will stop now,” Voight insisted, emphasizing the need for Americans to see through the “lies.”

Voight, father of actress Angelina Jolie, has long been a prominent conservative voice in Hollywood. During Trump’s presidency, he was appointed as a “special ambassador” to Hollywood, using his platform to advocate for Trump’s agenda.
The video, which has been retweeted thousands of times, came in the wake of a media frenzy surrounding Musk. Critics on social media recently compared Musk to controversial historical figures, prompting backlash from his supporters. Voight’s statement appears to be a direct response to these attacks.
“This is dangerous,” Voight said, referencing the comparisons. “Elon Musk has done a lot for this country—more than most people will ever realize.”
Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, also weighed in, retweeting Voight’s video and thanking him with an American flag emoji, a gesture that resonated with patriotic circles online.
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla, SpaceX, and the social media platform X, has increasingly become a polarizing figure. While admired by many for his innovations and outspoken views, he has also drawn criticism for controversial statements and actions.
Voight’s praise aligns with a growing sentiment among conservatives who view Musk as a defender of free speech and innovation. His leadership at X has particularly resonated with those who feel mainstream media suppresses conservative voices.
For Trump supporters, Musk’s rise as a cultural figure symbolizes a break from traditional elites. “He’s not afraid to challenge the establishment,” said one X user, echoing the sentiments of many in the MAGA movement.
Voight ended his video with a rallying cry: “We must support men like Elon Musk who stand for truth and progress. The media wants to tear him down, but we will not let that happen.”
As the country heads into another election season, figures like Voight and Musk will likely remain influential voices in shaping the conservative narrative. Whether through technology or entertainment, their impact on the American political landscape is undeniable.
