The rhetoric from April was similar to that from DeSantis.
Musk was born in South Africa and lived in the country until he was 17 before moving to Canada. Musk said he voted for Mayra Flores in the special election for a US House seat in Texas.
Conservatives in Congress accuse the company of having a left-wing bias after they deplatformed former President Donald Trump. Free speech will be unleashed under Musk's watch.
Musk, the richest person in the world, said early Wednesday that he was leaning towards voting for Ron DeSantis for president in 2024.
He believes that Ron DeSantis has a better chance of winning the election in two years.
Musk said last month that he would vote Republican in the next election, despite having voted for Democrats before. He said he was neither a Republican nor a Democrat.
He's up for reelection as governor of Florida and hasn't said if he's going to run for president. He doesn't like to answer questions about it.
Political insiders think that he will run because he has raised so much money. He has been willing to go to war against the Biden administration. Conservatives think that DeSantis is similar to Trump in his policies, but without some of the legal and political baggage that came with the former president.
