I just spoke to @ABDELAESPRIELLA and congratulated him on an historic victory to become the next president of Colombia! The people of Colombia have spoken and the institutions charged with conducting this election did it impeccably and in a world class fashion. In fact, we have a lot to learn on how to have secure elections and, at a later date, will ask Colombian officials to brief the US Congress on their process.
Abelardo is a strong leader, a fighter, and someone who loves his country. I know he will work tirelessly to make Colombia safe, strong, and successful again. He will be the President for all Colombians.
For two centuries the United States and Colombia have had an incredible, unbreakable alliance. Together, we will defeat the cartels, fight transnational crime, stop illegal migration, expand trade, and bring more opportunity and prosperity to both of our nations.
This is a new chapter for Colombia. Now is the time for unity, calm, confidence, and moving the country to a bright future. I look forward to working closely with my friend, president-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, to achieve great things together.
Congratulazioni ad Abelardo de la Espriella, nuovo Presidente eletto della Repubblica di Colombia. Forte del suo già profondo rapporto personale con l’Italia, sono pronta a collaborare insieme per sviluppare ancora di più le nostre già solide relazioni bilaterali.
Lavoreremo uniti per la crescita economica, la stabilità e la sicurezza internazionale e per rafforzare la cooperazione nel contrasto al narcotraffico e alle organizzazioni criminali transnazionali, nel segnodella vicinanza tra le nostre Nazioni. Auguri di buon lavoro Presidente @ABDELAESPRIELLA. Ti aspetto in Italia!

We all know the history: for your vanity, you signed a peace deal against the will of all Colombians and gave the country to delinquents. Don't blame the other presidents; this is your result. You signed a peace deal that destroyed Colombia. The best thing you can do is retire and stop telling lies.
Ignorance, more than evil. These people may be unhappy with their lives and need to blame someone. Ignorance and malinformation are a cruel reality we are living in. Elon, besides being a genius, cares more about people than any other billionaire. History will remember his greatness.
From Bullied Kid to Building the Future: The @elonmusk Story
• Born in South Africa
• Bullied relentlessly as a child
• Immigrated to North America with almost nothing
• Built Zip2 with his brother
• Sold it for ~$307 million
• Co-founded PayPal (from https://t.co/HGbsYc769j)
• Revolutionized online payments
• Sold to eBay for $1.5 billion
Then he bet everything:
• On electric cars (Tesla)
• And reusable rockets (SpaceX)
• Got mocked for EVs
• Laughed at for landing rockets
• Nearly went bankrupt in 2008
• Slept on factory floors
• Kept building anyway
Results:
• Made Tesla the most valuable car company in the world
• Made EVs mainstream and transformed the auto industry
• Made reusable rockets routine — slashing launch costs dramatically
• Built Starlink — bringing high-speed internet to millions
• Turned SpaceX into one of the most valuable companies in history
• Bought Twitter (now 𝕏) for $44B when everyone called it insane
• Rebuilt it into one of the most influential platforms on Earth
• Launched xAI to accelerate human scientific discovery
• Sent astronauts to the ISS and back
• Still pushing to make humanity multiplanetary (Mars)
His impact today:
• Companies employ ~150,000+ people worldwide
• SpaceX IPO created 4,000+ new millionaires — including engineers, factory workers, and even cafeteria staff — thanks to equity packages
• Generated hundreds of billions in value and wealth for employees, investors, and society
Before:
Failed repeatedly. Worked insane hours. Got bullied, mocked, and told “impossible.” Kept going.
Today (June 12, 2026):
• Richest person on Earth
• First trillionaire in human history
• SpaceX just completed the largest IPO ever (~$1.77T valuation)
Most people quit when the world laughs.
Elon Musk kept building the future.
Congratulations to Colombian Presidential Candidate, “El Tigre (THE TIGER),” Abelardo de la Espriella, a Smart, Strong, and Tough Leader, on his decisive Victory in the first round of the Colombian Presidential Election! Abelardo fights tirelessly for, and loves, his Great Country and People, just like I do for the United States of America. As President, Abelardo will be tremendously successful in leading Colombia to Grow the Economy, Create Jobs, Promote Trade, Stop Illegal Immigration, Crack Down on Crime and Drugs, and Restore LAW AND ORDER! Abelardo will face off against a Radical Left Marxist in the Runoff on June 21st — The results of this Election are very important to the future of Colombia and its relationship to the United States which, if Abelardo wins, and because of his competence and love of his Country, will have the total support and strength of the United States behind him. Because of his tremendous accomplishments in life, and his political support for me, it is my Honor to give Abelardo my Complete and Total Endorsement. “EL TIGRE” ABELARDO DE LA ESPRIELLA WILL NOT LET THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE OF COLOMBIA DOWN. It will rise to a new height of Greatness! President DONALD J. TRUMP
