Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk told “independent-minded” voters on the day before the midterm elections to cast ballots for Republicans.
Musk cited the fact that President Joe Biden holds the Executive Branch for Democrats, and said a split in Washginton would be better than one-party rule.
“Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties,” the world’s richest man and new owner of Twitter told his nearly 115 million followers on the platform. “Therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic."
Musk already announced earlier this year that he cast an early ballot for Mayra Flores, a Republican who beat Democrat Dan Sanchez in a special House of Representatives election in southern Texas.
“I voted for Mayra Flores — first time I ever voted Republican,” Musk said at the time. “Massive red wave in 2022.”
When asked about who he was likely to support in the 2024 presidential election, Musk responded, “DeSantis.”
