Elon Musk says he will now vote Republican
- Elon Musk said that he “can no longer support” the Democrat party because “they have become the party of division & hate.”
- Describing himself as a moderate who has always voted Democrat, Musk said he will now vote Republican.
- Musk has previously criticized the Biden administration’s pro-union stance and plans on taxing billionaires.
Elon Musk has declared on Wednesday that he can no longer support the Democrat party and will now vote for Republicans.
The Tesla CEO, who described himself as a moderate, said on Twitter, “In 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 unfold.”
Following Musk’s announcement of his support for Republicans, Tesla’s stock fell 6.8% on Wednesday. Tesla was also removed from a closely-watched sustainable index.
Musk was mocked as “poor Elon” on Twitter after the news.
One Twitter user wrote, “Poor Elon might only be the 2nd or 3rd richest man in the world now.” Another wrote, “Poor Elon. No liberals are going to buy his cars anymore, when there’s so many nicer options.”
Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, slammed the “nasty comments” from Twitter accounts she accused of being trolls, bots, or fake accounts.
Musk, the world’s richest man, has proposed a deal to buy Twitter. He previously remarked that Twitter is biased to the far left since its headquarters is in California, a state known for its progressive politics. Musk stated before that he would reverse the ban on former U.S. President Donald Trump once he acquires the social media platform.
Tesla has considered California as its biggest market in the United States, but it moved its headquarters last year to the more politically conservative Texas, where there is no state income tax. Musk also moved his residence from California to Texas.
Starting last year, Musk sold about $25 billion worth of Tesla stock to pay taxes and finance his proposed acquisition of Twitter. According to analysts, the sales allowed him to diversify his wealth while cashing in on Tesla’s stock rally.
Musk, who has been against unions, has previously criticized the Biden administration and Democrats for their stance on taxing billionaires while giving more tax incentives to union-made electric vehicles.

I love what Elon is trying to do but he will face very big headwinds in the process. Democrats will stop at nothing to destroy him and the truth will not stand in their way of what they think is a good story. However, if we could get him and Trump together we would all have life as it used to be in this country. Hold on folks it is going to be a rough ride for a short time but it will all pay dividends like getting rid of WOKE culture and people because all they want is power FOR THEMSELVES.

Nobody can blame somebody for leaving California. The liberals have completely ruined that state to a point beyond repair. Considering Musk has changed his political veiws, he’ll be more than welcome in states that honor a work ethic, and direspect freeloading liberal Democrats. The major problem with liberal Californians fleeing the chaos their own perspectives have caused that state is they move into other states and ruin them too.
This country needs to stop all liberal migration from California and New York before the whole country fails. All liberal minds should be forced to lay in the disastrous muck they’ve created. Democrats with liberal woke minds are a plague that is only a burden to society.

The current state of the Lib brain does not assimilate as their quest to dominate and control leave no room to entertain another’s opinion. Texas seems to have a different take on dealing with Libs. They’ll be invited over for a chat and cold iced tea, but if it’s all their one sided conversation most likely that neighborly invite will be their last. Libs if moving to Texas, will not long be accepted or tolerated, if they are insistent on bringing their politics or their loud mouths and expect to be accepted. “Just ain’t gonna work.” So Libs….check your politics at our borders and out a muzzle on your loud New York or California mouth. If you can do that…..we’ll get yourself a cowboy hat and some boots and join us. If not …..then stay the hell out.

I just heard there is a big crack at the border of California, Oregon, and Washington states on their eastern side and it’s growing wider every time a liberal speaks. Keep on talking!!!!
