Elon Musk Says He'll Vote Republican for First Time in Next Election

[rogue emissary]

Elon Musk the Tesla and SpaceX CEO who plans to buy Twitter, said he will now vote Republican having "overwhelmingly" voted for Democrats in the past.
Musk, a registered independent voter who describes himself as moderate, made the remarks while speaking via video link at a tech summit in Miami, Florida, hosted by the All-In podcast on Monday, reported Insider.

The world's richest man, whose $44 billion takeover of Twitter in April is on hold pending information on spam accounts, described how the platform has a "very far-left bias" before saying he would classify himself as a moderate as he is "neither Republican nor Democrat."

"I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically. Like I'm not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear," Musk said.

"Now this election I will," Musk added. It was unclear if Musk was talking about voting for a GOP candidate in November's midterms, or in the 2024 presidential election

Didn't take long to turn his might vote GOP into will.

[Carlitos Brigante]

1. Wow! What an "unpredictable genius"!! Did this douche not get attention as a

child or something?

[tinrobot]

2. "...who describes himself as moderate"

Sorry, rocket man, there are no more "moderates" left in the GOP.

[Bobstandard]

3. I'm officially canceling his vote!

I’m no billionaire but my all dem vote will cancel out his.

[lame54]

4. So much for his genius status

[brush]

5. Now he decides to vote repug, after all the crap they've pulled?

He's full of it. Any rational person with his prominent platform would be yelling Dem from the rooftops.

[niyad]

6. FU, muskie.

[live love laugh]

11. ✔️

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

7. He lies just as much...

as the rest of those narcissistic motherfuckers.

[Sneederbunk]

8. Quickly going from genius to dick.

[Mz Pip]

9. Huh?

All the Republican anti immigration and White Nationalist rhetoric doesn’t bother him?

Doesn’t he realize the far left has very little power in this country. The far right is acquiring more and more.

[rogue emissary]

12. People criticized him when he joined Trump's business conferences and round table.

His supporters said he was just keeping an open mind and he's a business man that doesn't agree with Trump.

[drmeow]

26. He is South African

that White Nationalist stuff is music to his ears - when you are rich, the immigration/citizenship/country stuff doesn't impact you.

[uponit7771]

39. +1,

[standingtall]

45. Didn't his father hold a postion in the South African Government during the apartheid years?

Did Musk really leave South Africa, because he was against apartheid? Or is the real reason he just didn't want to serve in the military?

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

10. After all the rotten stuff Republicans have done, especially in the last 5 years,

Musk decides he's going to vote Republican?

Clearly, there is something very, very ethically and morally wrong with this guy.

[Baitball Blogger]

13. Thanks for the warning.

Nothing redeemable there.

[FreepFryer]

14. WHO GIVES A FUCK? He's a trolligarch. (Nt)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. What does he want, a cookie?

[larwdem]

16. Take pride

Take pride Dems, president Biden is going to make the billionaire pay and now he has a sad. (boo fucking who)

[rogue emissary]

17. Exactly!

[JohnSJ]

18. Does anyone believe anything he says?

[In It to Win It]

19. Congratulations. I hope he finds what he's looking for

[Carlitos Brigante]

20. Wit? A personality? His daddy's love? I doubt it. nt

[48656c6c6f20]

21. Waiting for the apologies

Most of us knew he was a despicable human being, now his true colors come out.

Don't make me search all the pro musk posts. Just offer your apology and be done with it.

[Meadowoak]

22. I'm shocked!! A multi Billionaire is going to vote Republican.

Who would have ever thought it. Truth be know, I'm sure he has always voted Republican.

[Takket]

23. yeah and i'm going to have mcdonalds for the first time ever tomorrow

[sop]

24. The need for attention runs in the family.

[budkin]

25. Luckily he just has a single vote not matter how rich he is.

Poor Elon.

[PA_jen]

27. I think he forgot a word "admitting" as in first time he's admitting he voting Republican"

I have no doubt he always did but didn't admit it .

[captain queeg]

28. Money leads to republicanism. Even if he didn't start that way once he got filthy rich it was

Inevitable.

[Thrill]

29. So Mr.Climate Change is voting for Climate Change Denier Party?

He’s just an arrogant selfish attention seeker

[Cha]

30. musky is Fucking Insane.

💙💛

[hunter]

31. He's so full of shit.

He votes his wallet first and his racism and misogyny next.

Angry people who are not privileged straight white males frighten him. Privileged straight white males are the only people he thinks he can "reason" with.

He and the Republican Party are a perfect match.

[spanone]

32. ..and he's saying this not knowing who the candidate will be.

fuck musk

[pwb]

33. So he has always voted republican.

Another liar.

[MineralMan]

34. But his Teslas...

[iemanja]

35. Knock me over with a feather.

Entirely predictable.

[a kennedy]

36. and really, I don't give a shit......🤬 🤬 🤬

[Scrivener7]

37. Alternate title: "Elon Musk begs for attention again."

[Carlitos Brigante]

38. I'm dissapointed.......

in his fan club here. They seem quiet today for some reason. Where my Muskovites at???!!

[Bettie]

40. First time...sure.

Sure Elon, we buy that.

Oh, wait, not so much.

[WarGamer]

41. talk about a one issue voter...

[nini]

42. why is anyone surprised by this maniac?

He is the modern day Howard Hughes who has that crazy streak. Sad thing is he can do a hell of a lot of damage before he goes away.

[Nixie]

47. +1000. All those insults about billionaires seem to have pushed

him over the edge. Most people you insult constantly just flip you the bird, but he wants to buy up Twitter and unleash his kraken. None of what he’s doing is surprising.

[GenThePerservering]

43. Well, his certainly ugly enough

Mind and body, so he'll fit right in.

His sycophantic fanbois of both genders are fawning over him on "far left" Twitter lol.

[standingtall]

44. The comment section about made me want to puke.

According to right wingers Elon Musk is an African American, because he's a white guy born in South Africa which is technically true. Apparently though they think that's equivalent to being a black African American. Are they stupid?

[LeftInTX]

46. Hmmm.....

https://goo.gl/maps/G3CY9LqsKAWwGbRk8

No wonder he's so rich..LOL

[ZonkerHarris]

48. This idiot's going to run for some office soon He's positioning himself for the GOP idiots to follow

him like they did trump.

[JCMach1]

49. Maybe he should change his 'strain' and whatever idiots he's smoking

With

[sarcasmo]

50. I'm betting Elon doesn't vote.
