Elon Musk Reveals His Likely Choice for President in 2024

The Epoch Times Header

Elon Musk on June 15 said he is leaning toward voting for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president in the 2024 election and predicted that a โ€œred waveโ€ is coming in 2022.

In response to a question from a popular Tesla fan account on Twitter, Musk said it remains to be determined whether he will vote for a Republican for president. When asked who he is leaning toward, Musk replied, โ€œDeSantis.โ€

DeSantis, a Republican, has not said he will run for president in 2024. Former President Donald Trump is widely expected to run again.

The brief exchange was part of a conversation on Twitter that Musk started by revealing that he had cast the first vote for a Republican in his life in the special election in the 34th Congressional District in Texas. Musk voted for Mayra Flores, who won the election in the heavily-Hispanic district which has voted for Democrats for decades.

โ€œI voted for Mayra Flores โ€“ first time I ever voted Republican,โ€ Musk said. โ€œMassive red wave in 2022.โ€

With more than 95 percent of the votes counted at 11:09 p.m. ET on June 14, Flores received 51 percent of the vote in the special election, according to Decision Desk HQ. Democrat rival Dan Sanchez received 43.3 percent of the vote.

Flores will serve the remainder of the term in the seat vacated by former Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas), who resigned this spring to work for Akin Gump, a Washington law and lobbying firm.

โ€œIโ€™m forever grateful,โ€ Flores said in a victory speech on June 14. โ€œFor 100 years we have been taken for granted.โ€

Republicans at the national level have committed money and effort to the Flores race, believing that South Texas Latinos share conservativesโ€™ concerns about border security and the economy.

The opportunity to break the South Texas blue barrier has emboldened Republicans, who aim to flip the region red and regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
