Elon Musk Backs Ron DeSantis in 2024
Breitbart ^ | 11/26/2022 | Allum Bokhari

Posted on 11/26/2022 10:30:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and now Twitter, has said he would support Ron DeSantis in a 2024 presidential primary, although it is still unclear if the Florida governor intends to run.

Asked on Twitter, the platform he now owns, if he would support DeSantis in 2024, Musk responded in the affirmative, while stressing that platform should be “fair to all.”

Breitbart. This isn’t the Breitbart of 10 years ago. New people are running the show, and they aren’t conservatives.

"I wonder if Musk can make the Prog Left Socialist Democrats start jumping off tall buildings?"

I doubt it. The media has been pitting, and promoting DeSantis against Trump for quite a while now. As soon as I hear, or see the main stream media promoting a specific Republican candidate, I run the other way.

It’s going to be DeSantis vs. Newsom. Newsom says he will not run if Biden runs for a second term but we all know Biden will not run again.

DeSantis isn’t running, and Trump says he’s worse than Biden.

It's possible Musk is hinting to Trump that he needs to start moving towards the center. Musk tweeted: "As a reminder, I was a significant supporter of the Obama-Biden presidency and (reluctantly) voted for Biden over Trump." "But freedom of speech is the bedrock of a strong democracy and must take precedence. 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.

"move towards the center" "I was a significant supporter of the Obama-Biden presidency and (reluctantly) voted for Biden over Trump."

What is his FReeper handle? There are several possibilities.

Ron hasn't said he's running.

He hasn't said he not running either. He could resolve all this by just saying he's going to fill out his term as governor that he was just reelected to.

Is that why you recommended Trump endorse Biden?

Most of the anti-Trump articles on Breitbart are their usual AP/AFP newswire feeds and don’t show up on the front page. You have to click on their Wires link to see them (unless their referenced here on FR).

I’d first like to hear what DeSantis thinks of the 2020 Steal and what he’d do about it.

Droning on over "We wuz robbed!" is a loser issue.

Short a handful of house races in blood-red districts, every "Stop The Steal" candidate was defeated in 2022.

I wouldn't expect DeSantis to embrace this issue. He wins elections.

Well, I do think there is a bit of a media and public groundswell for a DeSantis candidacy. Whether it becomes real is yet to be determined. President Trump had the election stolen from him in 2020 but as I’ve already written, I’ve moved on. He as not acquitted himself well in completing what he says or starts, failed to fight the steal, didn’t backup candidate’s with his $100 million plus campaign PAC, etc. Plus, all of the personal quirks are getting very, very tiresome. Maybe we can get McConnell, McCarthy, and Trump to all agree jointly to step aside?

Musk is a CCP Trojan horse trying to displace Trump and conservatism in the Republican party. He’s reversed some of the improper bannings but at the same time, lots of people are still getting banned and suspended. Musk is just focusing on high-profile accounts to ingratiate himself with the Republican base so they’ll buy his Tesla death traps. Only libs were buying his cars before so now he’s just going for another side of the market. The guy has no principles.

What exactly has Trump done about it? Other than fundraise? He collected ~$200 million for an “Election Security Fund” right after 2020 but has spent that money on rallies.

As far as DeSantis, he created an actual plan on how to approach the problem, then took multiple actions, staring in February 2021.

This was just an off hand comment. No promises made that he would keep it nor that it would be exclusively for DeSantis
