Elon Musk Will Support Donald Trump’s Rival Ron DeSantis In 2024 Presidential Elections

Elon Musk said on Friday that if Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida, ran for president in 2024, he would support him.

Ron DeSantis is Donald Trump’s rival and will very likely face him in the Republican primaries.

Elon Musk made the remark in a Twitter thread in which he revealed his political preferences for the upcoming elections.

Musk responded in a tweet, “Yes,” when asked if he would back DeSantis in 2024, after implying that he had not found his ideal candidate among Democrats.

Musk elaborated on his stance, saying, “As a reminder, I was a significant supporter of the Obama-Biden presidency and (reluctantly) voted for Biden over Trump.”

“My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would be the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far,” Musk tweeted.

In June this year, Elon said that he’s considering his Republican preference for president but is “leaning towards” DeSantis.

This move by Elon Musk may give a boost to DeSantis’ campaign, as it’s expected that it will be a tough battle between Trump and DeSantis for presidential nomination.

In last month’s midterm elections, the Florida governor won in a landslide victory. Whereas Trump was criticized for the Republicans’ inability to deliver the much-hyped “red wave”.

Elon Musk’s Stance on Donald Trump

Donald Trump announced this week that he will run for President of the United States in 2024.

Elon Musk revoked the suspension on Donald Trump’s Twitter account last week after conducting an online poll in which a tiny majority of voters approved the move.

Last week, Musk justified his decision to reinstate the account, saying that the decision to remove a sitting president from the platform “despite no violation of the law or terms of service” had eroded public trust in Twitter.

Elon tweeted, ” I’m fine with Trump not tweeting. The important thing is that Twitter correct a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service. Deplatforming a sitting President undermined public trust in Twitter for half of America.”

The former president declined the offer and has yet to return to Twitter.
