Democratic strategist James Carville said during a Thursday podcast that he does not want X CEO Elon Musk to rejoin the Democratic Party.
After previously backing Democratic candidates, Musk announced his endorsement of President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, along with contributing significant sums of money to support his ultimately successful campaign for the White House. Carville, on “The Daily Beast Podcast,” suggested that Musk would offer nothing of value if the Democratic Party were to successfully regain his support.

“Should they bring Elon Musk back? His platform X is pretty useful. He said he’s not going to put any more money into Politics for the time being,” host Joanna Coles said. “But should the Democrats woo him back or is he too damaged at this point?”
After clarifying Coles meant bringing Musk back into the Democratic Party, the Democratic strategist answered, “No.”
“No? You think he’s done now?” the host followed up.
“Well, I can’t imagine that after all of this that he’d want — I mean, what does he bring? … Look at the damage he’s done to the federal government,” Carville said. “Why do we want him?”
