For years, Elon Musk remained fairly quiet about his political beliefs. He was a registered independent voter in California and claims to have supported Hillary Clinton for President in 2016.

But the days of Mr. Musk keeping his politics quiet are over.

joe somerlad Reports on the confused reaction to the inclusion of a British-accented voiceover in a teaser campaign ad for DeSantis 2024 presidential bid.

David Sachs, an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, will host Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Tesla CEO Elon Musk in an audio chat on Twitter Spaces on Wednesday (May 24), where Mr DeSantis will announce his campaign for 2024 president expected to do.

Mr. Sachs, 50, is a longtime friend of Mr. Musk and a supporter of Mr. DeSantis.

Florida’s first lady posted the video to Twitter on Tuesday night, the day Mr. DeSantis is set to formally announce his campaign at a Twitter event with Elon Musk.

Rachel Sharpe That’s the whole story.

Another Truth Social post about Ron DeSantis this morning also sees former President Donald Trump taking a swipe at Fox News:

I got 1.2 million more votes than Desanctus in Florida. Also, Bill Hemmer at FoxNews just used an old April poll that showed me leading 51% to 25%. Why doesn’t Fox get more up to date polls, 72% to 18%, with the other candidates having very few. Like its 2016!!! That’s why people are leaving FoxNews. PS Without me, Desanctus would have lost Primary and Common. Thank you President Trump!

For years, Elon Musk remained fairly quiet about his political beliefs. He was a registered independent voter in California and claims to have supported Hillary Clinton for President in 2016.

But the days of Mr. Musk keeping his politics quiet are over.

Since the start of Covid-19, Mr Musk has become increasingly vocal about his right-wing politics – railing against Covid restrictions and work-from-home policies, urging people to support Republicans in the midterm elections, Being accused of tweeting antisemitic statements, and providing a platform to Tucker Carlson.

On Wednesday, Mr Musk will reportedly make his most direct foray into the 2024 presidential election, when he is expected to help Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis launch his campaign. NBC News first reported the collaboration.

Here’s what Mr. Musk has said so far about the 2024 election:

In a remarkable moment of restraint, Donald Trump waited until this morning to lash out at Ron DeSantis despite breaking news yesterday afternoon that the Florida governor would announce his 2024 run this evening during a Twitter Live event with Elon Musk.

Here’s what the former president had to say about Mr. DeSantis (lots of which he’s said before…):

Look, Rob de Sanctimonius came to me asking for help. He was losing by 31 points to popular Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. He was getting ready to drop out of the race – ran a terrible campaign! Ron told me he had one last chance, my support and encouragement, which Poonam and everyone else wanted as well. I passed it to Ron, and the race was over. He went from losing badly to winning a lot in one day. With 3 big Trump rallies, he pulled off an upset and won the general election. Bewafa!!!

Ron DeSanctus can’t win the general election (or get the nomination) because he voted to eliminate Social Security, even voting to raise the minimum age to 70 (or more!), Had voted for badly wounded medical, and worked hard and voted for it. A 23% “tax on everything” sales tax. He was, and is, a disciple of the awesome Rino Paul Ryan, and too many others to mention. Furthermore, he is in dire need of a personality implant and to the best of my knowledge, they are not yet medically available. A treacherous person!

I built the greatest economy in the history of the world, no inflation, energy independence, and soon dominance, strongest border ever, record best employment numbers, biggest tax and regulation cuts, rebuilding our military, Russia/ No war with Ukraine or China/Taiwan (or anywhere!), and the United States was respected around the world! What else can I say?
