Billionaire Elon Musk said he would support Donald Trump’s rival, Ron DeSantis, in 2024 if the Florida governor were to run for president.
Asked if he would support DeSantis in 2024, Musk replied “Yes” in a tweet.
“My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far,” he noted.
Musk’s remarks underline his political backing after he indicated last June that he was still mulling his Republican preference for president but that he was “leaning towards” DeSantis.
The Florida governor won a landslide in this month’s midterm elections, whereas Trump was criticized for the Republicans’ failure to deliver the much-promised “red wave” after the defeat of key candidates he endorsed.
In the same vein, Musk indicated that he was “fine with Trump not tweeting” after having his account reinstated last weekend.
“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.”
