On Monday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk again claimed that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be the best Republican choice for president in 2024, adding that DeSantis would "easily" beat President Joe Biden if he faced Biden in the general election.
Musk's statements came after Former President Trump accused Musk of lying about his voting record on Saturday at his rally in Anchorage, Alaska. Earlier this year, Musk tweeted that he had never voted Republican until June, when he supported Republican Mayra Flores in a special Texas election. Trump, however, stated that Musk had once claimed to have supported Trump in a past election. Trump said: "He said the other day, 'I've never voted for a Republican,' so I said 'I didn't know that.' He told me he voted for me! So he's another [REDACTED] artist, but he's not gonna be buying it."
Replying to a tweet from Bongino News, Musk denied the claim.
While it is unclear whether or not Musk actually supported Trump in the past, the conversation opened a door for Musk to tell about his ideas for the future. Musk made clear that he doesn't dislike Trump, but rather feels that he would be too old to be president if he ran in 2024. "I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset. Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency."
Musk then went on to suggest -- for the second time this year -- that conservative Governor Ron DeSantis (FL) would win if Republicans nominated him in the next presidential election.
In the comments, however, some Republicans disagreed with Musk. One Twitter user pointed out Trump's success rate, asking Musk what about Trump he was against.
Currently, neither Trump nor DeSantis have announced presidential campaigns for 2024. In fact, DeSantis has maintained that he has no plans to run in 2024. Trump, however, has hinted at seeking another term multiple times. Have comments? Share them below.
