Odaily News Musk posted on the X platform: Congratulations to JD Vance for becoming the Republican vice presidential candidate. This is an excellent decision. According to the Wall Street Journal, if Trump is elected, Vance, who will turn 40 in August, will become one of the youngest vice presidents in American history. He has only two years of experience in being elected, but he is the most representative figure of "America First" populism.
