Elon Musk and Brittany Mahomes are changing political parties

You can’t navigate using these stars.

Stars change direction and allegiance, moving left and right, adding even more unexpected twists to an already unprecedented election.

“Campaigns certainly need (celebrity) support because it helps promote candidates’ brands more broadly and highlight strengths or mitigate weaknesses,” said Brett Buerck, the company’s CEO Majority strategiesa national Republican consulting firm that has covered presidential races for over three decades. “The support of younger, more glamorous Hollywood influencers creates the illusion of vitality.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kodak Black, Nicky Jam and Ana Navarro have recently moved to the left, joining Democratic heavyweights like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, Amber Rose, Zachary Levy and Brittany Mahomes have moved to the right, joining such GOP stalwarts as Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock and Waka Flocka.

Political strategists say celebrity endorsements may help attract new voters to the polls, but the impact on the actual outcome of Tuesday’s election may be limited.

“(Most) people who are impressed by these stars have already chosen a side and put on their candidate’s T-shirt,” Buerck said. “I see no evidence that Brittany Mahomes will be the turning point towards saving your version of Democracy.”

Elon Musk

The CEO and billionaire of Tesla, SpaceX and xAI has become one of Trump’s biggest and loudest supporters, donating almost $120 million to pro-Trump Super PAC and handing out $1 million to swing state voters.

And all this despite the fact that in March last year he assured that he did not donate to any of the presidential candidates.

Additionally, he voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, and in 2022 he stated that Trump was too old to be president and needed to “sail off into the sunset.”

Musk, who appeared on stage at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in October, three months after the first attempt on his life there, he implored Americans to register to vote.

Musk, 53, joked that there was “not only MAGA on stage, I’m dark MAGA,” which drew applause from the audience.
“President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America,” Musk assured the audience.

Amber Rose

In the run-up to the 2016 election, the 40-year-old model called Trump “such an idiot” in an interview. Cutting.

However, on Candace Owens’ podcast earlier this year, Rose announced that she supports Trump after her ex-husband, rapper Wiz Khalifa, encouraged her not to be afraid to be honest about her political leanings.

“I thought, ‘I feel like I’m living a lie,'” she told Owens.

In her speech at the Republican National Convention in July, she stated that the media had lied, that Trump and his supporters were racists and bigots, and that he was the right person to lead the country.

“Inflation is out of control, and in your heart you know it wasn’t like that under Donald Trump,” she said.

Zachary Levy

“Shazam!” the star previously supported the candidacy of former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for 2024.

After RFK dropped out in August and joined Team Trump, Levy followed him.

“I side with Bobby. . . I stand with everyone who stands with President Trump,” the actor said on September 28 at a Trump rally in Michigan, where he moderated a conversation with Kennedy and former Democratic Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.

He admitted it was a risky move, saying, “Hollywood is a very, very liberal town, and it could be career suicide.”

Brittany Mahomes

She and Swift may look cozy at Kansas City Chiefs games, but their politics are different.

In August, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes liked Trump’s post on Instagram declaring that the candidate would “keep men out of women’s sports” and “end inflation.”

Mahomes has not made political statements before, and the move sparked controversy and speculation that she voted red.

She defended the move on Instagram, writing, “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have the same deep-seated issues that you can’t cure from your childhood.” Trump then thanked her “for defending me so strongly.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger

The 77-year-old former Republican governor of California announced Wednesday that he supports Harris.

“You don’t recognize our country. And you’re right to be angry,” he wrote in X.

While he noted that he worries that “local left-wing policies are hurting our cities with increased crime,” he said he ultimately couldn’t support Trump.

“He will divide, he will offend, he will find new ways to be more un-American,” he wrote. “I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz this week.”

Kodak in black

The 27-year-old Haitian rapper grew up in South Florida and received a prison sentence commuted by Trump in 2016 for purchasing a firearm. He subsequently appeared multiple times at Trump campaign events, including a September rally in New York.

But when former presidents commented during a September debate that Haitian immigrants eat domestic cats and dogs, he lost Kodak.

“Haitians, we have come too far, brother,” he said he said on the live broadcast shortly thereafter. “We came too damn far, dude. . . We are not talking about any Haitian slander.”

NickyJam

A few weeks ago, the 43-year-old Latin musician appeared on stage at a Trump rally in Las Vegas wearing a MAGA hat.

But last Wednesday, the reggaetón hitmaker announced he was withdrawing his support after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden last weekend.

In a Spanish-language video he shared with his 44 million Instagram followers, he said: “I thought (Trump) was the best solution for the economy in the United States, where many Latinos live,” but “Puerto Rico should be respected. ”

Ana Navarro

The View co-host, 52, fled communist Nicaragua as a young girl and identified as a Republican for years, but stopped supporting the party when Trump came to power in 2016.

Last August, she hosted the Democratic National Convention and shared her story. “I am a little refugee who escaped from communism. . . she found freedom, she found opportunity, she found a home in America,” she said in a video posted on X. “It’s an amazing moment for me to be able to stand on this stage and help my girl Kamala make history and become the Democratic candidate.”
