Shortly after former President Trump returned to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, with a tweet featuring his mug shot Thursday, Elon Musk responded in a quote tweet.
“Next-level,” Musk’s Thursday night post read.
Musk, the current owner of X, reinstated the former president’s account in November after it was banned in the wake of the Jan 6., 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump’s post of his mug shot on X, featuring the words “Election Interference!” and “Never Surrender!” along with a link to his website, marked the first time in more than two years he has posted on the platform.
The mug shot is a result of Trump surrendering to Fulton County, Ga., authorities Thursday after being charged alongside 18 co-defendants in District Attorney Fani Willis’s case related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
“They insisted on a mug shot, and I agreed to do that,” Trump told Fox News Digital after his surrender. “This is the only time I’ve ever taken a mug shot.”
“It is not a comfortable feeling — especially when you’ve done nothing wrong,” he added.

For the first time in history, a former president of the United States was fingerprinted and had their mugshot taken. Donald Trump orchestrated his surrender in the Georgia 2020 election interference case as a primetime TV spectacle. He went from the Atlanta airport to the Fulton County Jail in a huge motorcade. His team of lawyers and Secret Service agents accompanied him into the jail. Trump's official booking form is sparking intense reaction after he self-reported his height and weight.

Donald Trump turned himself in on Thursday at the Fulton County jail. This is the fourth time this year that the former president has been charged with a crime. The allegations stem from his attempts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results.
Trump was processed and released on bond in a little more than 20 minutes at the Fulton County jail. His 6 foot 3 inch height, 215 pound weight, blue eyes, and blond or strawberry hair were all listed in jail records. His reservation ID was P01135809.
Soon after Trump was freed from jail, a mug shot of him was made public.

Donald Trump has turned his Georgia mugshot into a record-breaking fundraising haul. The former president has raised $7.1 million since he was booked at an Atlanta jail Thursday evening, according to figures provided first to POLITICO by his campaign. On Friday alone, Trump raised $4.18 million, making it the single-highest 24-hour period of his campaign to date, according to a person familiar with the totals. The campaign’s fundraising has been powered by merchandise it has been selling through his online store. After Trump was taken into custody, the campaign began selling shirts, posters, bumper stickers and beverage coolers bearing Trump’s scowling mugshot. The items bear the tagline “NEVER SURRENDER!” and range in price from $12 to $34. The campaign has also been prodding online donors with emails and text messages. And on Thursday night, while flying back from Atlanta to Bedminster, N.J. Trump sent out his first tweet in more than two years directing supporters to his website. The site’s landing page includes the mugshot and asks supporters to “make a contribution to evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House and SAVE AMERICA during this dark chapter in our nation’s history.” The fundraising blitz illustrates how Trump has parlayed his four indictments into campaign cash, rallying his hardcore supporters. Trump’s campaign says it has raised nearly $20 million in the last three weeks, during which time Trump was indicted on charges related to his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and for trying to overturn the Georgia vote count in the 2020 election. That figure is more than half of what Trump raised during his first seven months in the 2024 race. Trump advisers have moved to thwart unendorsed political candidates and organizations from raising money off the mugshot. But there is little ability to stop private, non-political organizations from monetizing the mugshot. Barstool Sports, a prominent sports and pop culture website, for instance, has been selling its own Trump mugshot t-shirts for $32.
