Dana White echoes Elon Musk's views on state of U.S. political leadership

Dana White has been quite vocal about his political beliefs since the 2016 United States presidential election, endorsing Donald Trump in each of the last three election cycles. While Elon Musk voted for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in the previous two elections, he has switched his political stance and backed the former president ahead of his bid to re-enter office in the 2024 election.

The Tesla CEO was on board for Trump's political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, publicly endorsing the presidential candidate. The UFC CEO showed his support for Musk on Sunday, sharing a quote that has been attributed to Musk dating back several months on his Instagram story, stating:

"America right now is a perfect example of what happens to a successful business when you hire all of the wrong people!"

Mike Tyson supports Dana White's move into boxing

Dana White recently revealed that he plans to move into the boxing world as a promoter. Mike Tyson, who has shared a long-time friendship with the UFC CEO, backed his plan, labeling it as the best thing for boxing.

Speaking to Cam'Ron and Ma$e of the It Is What It Is podcast, 'Iron Mike' stated:

"Well listen, that's going to be the best thing to happen to boxing because Dana - listen, just like UFC, right? Listen, if you in UFC and if anybody's booing a fight, you're not going to see that guy. Their next fight is going to be in South Dakota somewhere. There's only good fights. If you don't have a good fight, you ain't never going to see that guy again."

The International Boxing Hall of Famer continued:

"Not like boxing - oh, this guy is going to fight next month again. You don't want to see that. You might think about Shakur [Stevenson]. If any stink fights, you're not back in the UFC no more. You're never going to see those guys again."

Check out Mike Tyson's comments on Dana White below (starting at the 32:11 mark):

Tyson noted that UFC fighters do not wait until they pass their prime to face one another. He also agreed with Ma$e's claim that White would make the best boxers face each other in the ring.
