His intention to support Republican Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis rather than Donald Trump should the former run for president of the United States in the 2024 election, Elon Musk announced.
The revelation was made when the Twitter owner was asked if he would support DeSantis after he himself said he had not yet found the ideal candidate among Democrats.
"My preference for the 2024 presidential race is someone who is reasonable and centrist. I had hoped that would be the case for the Biden administration but so far I have been disappointed," Musk had written earlier.
As Reuters notes, this response from Musk is the clearest evidence of his policy preferences since he gave an indication last June when he expressed his support for Republicans and that he was "leaning" toward DeSantis.
Elon Musk also said that "I'm OK with Trump not tweeting" after the former US president's Twitter account was reinstated.
"The important thing is that Twitter has corrected a big mistake by banning his account, despite the fact that there was no violation of the terms of service. Exiting a president's platform undermined public trust in Twitter by half of America," Musk noted.
[BR][BR]The new Twitter owner's move to back DeSantis may prove critical for the Florida governor as the assessment is that there will be a tight battle between him and Donald Trump for the final nomination with some, as noted by Reuters, predicting "blood on the floor."
