Elon Musk thinks candidate ‘less divisive’ than Trump ‘would be better in 2024’
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Elon Musk said he thinks “a less divisive candidate would be better in 2024.
- The Tesla CEO promised to lift the ban on Trump’s Twitter account.
- Musk also revealed his opinion about President Biden, tweeting he was only elected because “everyone just wanted less drama.”
Elon Musk said Thursday that a GOP candidate “less divisive” than former President Donald Trump ‘would be better’ as president in 2024. The Tesla CEO, however, reiterated that he still believes Trump should be back on Twitter.
The billionaire, 50, shared his opinion on the platform, which he is set to purchase. Last month, Twitter’s management approved Musk’s offer to buy the company for $44 billion.
“Even though I think a less divisive candidate would be better in 2024, I still think Trump should be restored to Twitter,” Musk wrote.
Trump was permanently banned from Twitter in January 2021 after the U.S Capitol attack. The company cited the “risk of further incitement of violence” as the basis for kicking Trump out.
The South African native made a follow-up tweet about President Joe Biden minutes later.
“Biden’s mistake is that he thinks he was elected to transform the country, but actually everyone just wanted less drama,” he wrote.
Since Musk proposed buying Twitter, he has said he will lift moderation restrictions and hinted at charging businesses to use the platform. He also mentioned about converting the company’s headquarters into a homeless shelter.
Earlier this week, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey said the platform was “wrong” to ban the former president.
“Generally permanent bans are a failure of ours and don’t work,” the former CEO said.

Musk should look at the massive evidence says that Trump won the election of 2020 and probably by a landslide.
Trump is tremendously popular. The DNC and media is pressing hard to discredit him before he trounces them in 2024.
The Republicans have tried polite, “less divisive” candidates before and they either lose, side with Democrats or get nothing done.
The press will try to destroy any Conservative anyway. Let’s go for a proven winner who stands up to them.

Trump isn’t a slick tongued politician. He says what he thinks without apology. Fully 50% of what he has said that would be termed “divisive” are simply the propaganda media taking things out of context to spin a false narrative since they obviously in the bag for the liberal democratic party. Its no secret that 90% of media openly proclaim their liberal bias and it shows in their reporting. I challenge anyone to put Trump policies against what we have seen of the liberal policies of Joe Biden and compare what works better. Trump resorted to direct tweets because he could not get a fair in context reporting from the media.

One has to disagree with Musk. Musk should tray and sick to correcting the mistakes of Twitter, building electric cars, and spacecraft. Lying corrupt Quid Pro King Joe, (America had King George, now America has King Joe) was elected not for less DRAMA, elected by the liberal commie Democrats just to get rids of Trump. In fact this mentally incapacitated old fart corrupt politician with one foot in the grave his fair share of drama, even more than Trump. If Charles Manson were alive today, The gullible liberal commie Democrats, with the stamp of approval from the propaganda and disinformation outlets, such as CNN and MSNBC would have elected Mansion just to get rid of Trump. They might have even elected the fat chick Stacey Abrams. All this election was about getting rid of Trump, not drama. no more no less.

All the people we know thought that President Trump would own the 2020 election by a LANDSLIDE! What a SURPRISE the result was for all of us! “GOD BLESS AMERICA!” He alone knows what we, the Americans need for our GROWTH & DEVELOPMENTS AS HIS BELOEVED CHILDREN! Now, we all can clearly see that how BIDEN own! We needed the TEACHNG FROM OUR HEAVNELY FATHER to learn what is TRUTH and what is FICTION? Truth SOLVES peoblems! Becasue, it has SUBSTENCE! Fictions have no SUBSTENCE, THUS, nothing could be done RIGHT! Nothing = NOTHING! The Void of TRUTHFUL SUBSTENCE within any human or anything none of them could ever be of any use! Nothing is NOTHING = void of substence = void of value = quality!

Sorry mr. Musk, you are incorrect in this assessment! Biden and Obama are the divisive ones! They want to destroy our country, not make it prosper, but Obama will rake in as much of our money as he can, tell me HOW after leaving office did Obama become a multi millionaire? Not by speaking engagements and books no one bought! Something in d.c. stinks to high heaven, and the stench must be removed! Get the demonrats OUT!
