Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is reacting to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s suggestion that he might back the governor for president.
During an event on Wednesday, the Florida governor was asked about Musk’s tweet.
“What I would say I’m focused on 2022. But with Elon Musk, what I would say is, you know, I welcome support from African Americans. What can I say?” DeSantis responded.
Some in the audience were heard laughing and DeSantis appeared to try to hold back a smirk.
Watch the video below:
Some conservatives have sarcastically labeled Musk “African American” as they note that he was born in South Africa and moved to the U.S.
On Tuesday night, Musk commented on a story about Republican Mayra Flores’ victory in the special election for Texas’ 34th Congressional district.
“I voted for Mayra Flores – first time I ever voted Republican. Massive red wave in 2022,” he wrote.
One Twitter user asked, “I assume republican for president ?”
“Tbd,” Musk replied.
