Nicki Minaj publicly thanks Elon Musk during a visit to SpaceX’s Starbase facility, praising him for “contributions to humanity,” according to reports covering the event. The comments come as Minaj’s public political alignment increasingly overlaps with prominent conservative figures in the United States. Multiple outlets describe her as one of the entertainment-industry voices that has become more supportive of Musk and, more broadly, of MAGA-associated figures. The coverage also notes that the Starbase visit is tied to ongoing activity at the Texas site, where SpaceX’s Starship development and scheduled milestones are drawing attention, with one report stating that the Starship V3 launch is delayed. While the outlets focus on different surrounding context—such as Minaj’s broader political association and her relationship to Musk—the central points they share are that Minaj attends or visits Starbase, delivers praise directed at Musk, and does so amid growing public visibility of her conservative-leaning support.
