Elon Musk, a billionaire, claims that unless the Republicans win this year’s elections, the United States will be finished.
“Until a few years ago, I voted 100% Democratic. “Now, I think we need a red wave or America is toast,” Musk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
Musk has been openly critical of President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. Musk has attacked Biden’s attitude toward the southern border situation and accused Democrats of being “controlled by the unions.”
Musk, who stated that he supported Biden in 2020, became critical of Biden after Tesla was barred from the president’s 2021 electric-vehicle conference.
Although Musk has expressed his dislike for Biden, the billionaire has yet to endorse Biden’s competitor, former President Donald Trump.
“I don’t think I would vote for Biden. “I’m not saying I’d vote for Trump,” Musk told moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin at the New York Times Dealbook Summit in November.
The New York Times reported that Trump met Musk in Florida on March 3, citing people familiar with the meeting. The Times said that Trump was looking for fresh campaign donations.
Musk confirmed the meeting took place but insisted that he is not a Trump donor.
“I was at a breakfast at a friend’s place and Donald Trump came by; that’s it,” Musk told former CNN host Don Lemon in an interview that aired on March 18.
“I will not pay his legal fees in any manner, shape, or form. And he didn’t ask me for money,” Musk stated in the interview.
However, Musk has not ruled out the prospect of endorsing Trump in 2024.
“I may end up endorsing a candidate. “But I’m not sure yet,” Musk told Lemon. “I want to make a considered decision before the election, and if I do decide to endorse a candidate, then I will explain exactly why.”
Musk representatives did not immediately react to Work Insider’s request for comment received outside of regular work hours.
