Tesla’s Chief Executive Elon Musk said that he is leaning toward supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis if he runs for president in 2024. 

Musk was asked on Twitter who he was ‘leaning toward’ for president and replied simply with one word, “DeSantis”. 

When DeSantis was asked about Musk’s support for a potential 2024 run, he replied: 

“I welcome support from African-Americans, what can I say,” said DeSantis jokingly. Musk grew up in South Africa. 

The Tesla Executive said he voted for a republican for the first time for Mayra Flores for a southern Texas Congressional District 

“I voted for Mayra Flores, first time I ever voted Republican,” said Musk in a tweet. “Massive red wave in 2022.”
