Billionaire Elon Musk hinted at creating a moderate super PAC.
On Wednesday, Musk responded to a Tweet from The Texan reporting that Mayra Flores âhas won the special election for Texasâs 34th Congressional District, flipping a seat that has been under nearly unbroken Democratic control for four decades.â
Musk replied, âI voted for Mayra Flores â first time I ever voted Republican. Massive red wave in 2022.â
The Twitter account Tesla Owners Silicon Valley asked Musk, âI assume republican for president 2?â
The billionaire replied, âTbd.â
When asked what he is leaning towards, Musk said, âDeSantis.â
Another Twitter user asked Musk, âBut your political donations will be evenly spread out, as you do always. Right??â
He explained, âIâm thinking of creating a âSuper Moderate Super PACâ that supports candidates with centrist views from all parties.â
Last month, Musk shared he would vote Republican.
âIn the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfoldâŚâ Musk tweeted.
Earlier this week, DeSantis was asked if he would run in 2024 if former President Donald Trump ran.
He said, âNice try,â as Politico reported.
The former president is reportedly considering announcing his 2024 White House bid in Florida to show the governor âwho the boss is.â
A GOP strategist told Insider, âHe calls DeSantis âa stiffâ and âungrateful.â Adjectives.â
Earlier this month, DeSantis beat Trump and other possible contenders in a straw poll for 2024 presidential candidates at a Colorado conservative conference, as Fox News reported.
According to the poll, attendees approved of a potential DeSantis candidacy for the Republican nomination at 71%.
Trump came in at 67%.
