WASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk said he may support Florida governor Ron DeSantis for president in 2024, and predicted a "massive red wave" of Republican victories in the midterm elections in November.

Asked on Twitter early Wednesday morning who he was "leaning towards" in the presidential election, Musk replied simply "DeSantis," backing a conservative who is emerging as a top competitor to former president Donald Trump for the Republican nomination in 2024.

Notice that Musk was predicting a "massive red wave" in the midterms months before he told people to vote for Republicans.

2. Lots of news organizations are running this story tonight, all apparently having forgotten

that Musk first talked about this over 5 months ago. Of course he didn't have his ownership of Twitter as a megaphone then.

6. Eenie meinie mighty moe.. both are a disaster for us.

Do ya think a moderate is out there w/ some backbone and challenge these two? Will the rich 💰💰 supporters even support these two? They’re so quick to jump on the next election cycle to outdo each other I hope their supporters get a grip n go away from the hate n drama

7. Congratulations to Elon

Pretty sure this is an “own the libs” moment. Support DeSantis to own the libs. Buy Twitter to own the libs. Live your existence to own the libs.

Elon is as thin skinned as the Orange Man.

12. Good. I heard hair furhair will burn the Fascist party down then.

Even from his hypothetical jail cell since his loony tunes think he's the chosen one...
