Ron DeSantis To Announce White House Bid With Elon Musk

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will (finally) officially announce his bid for the Republican presidential nomination during a Twitter Spaces chat with the social media’s CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday, May 24. https://twitter.com/DashaBurns/status/1661070705989959688 From NBC News:

Musk and DeSantis will host an event on Twitter Spaces, the site’s platform for audio chats, on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET. It will be moderated by David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur who is a Musk confidant and DeSantis supporter.

That same evening, the campaign will release a launch video, and DeSantis will begin visiting several early states after Memorial Day.

The relationship could be a significant boost for DeSantis by giving him an introduction to, and credibility with, Musk’s massive following — including his 140 million Twitter followers. But it could prove a burden should DeSantis become distracted by the tycoon’s many controversial comments.

Musk has said publicly he would support DeSantis if he were to run for the White House. https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1661075043445555208
