Elon Musk said on Friday that he would support Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) if he were to run for president in 2024.

Why it matters: It's the second time this year that Musk has teased support for DeSantis.

Details: Musk replied "Yes" when asked by Twitter user @ProudElephantUS if he would support DeSantis in 2024.

The confirmation came after a lengthy Twitter thread where Musk explained his reasoning for bringing former President Trump back to Twitter last week.
"I’m fine with Trump not tweeting," Musk said about the former president…"The important thing is that Twitter correct a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service." "Deplatforming a sitting President undermined public trust in Twitter for half of America," Musk wrote.

1. We'll see if Musk is the business genius he claims to be

The business model for social media is centered around advertising. Unless there is a novel new way to monetize social media that is where he is going to have to go for money.

Everything he has done since taking over has discouraged advertisers from using his site.

2. A fascist backing one of two 2024 fascists. How predictable.

3. Why does anyone care what Elon Musk does or who he supports?

We give him more attention than Democratic politicians or supporters.

4. Endorsing The Defeated Former Guy would be bad for business

Max egos gotta stick together......
