The politics-dipping billionaire had also urged Americans to vote in a Republican Congress, but he was rebuffed. Read more at straitstimes.com.

“My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would be the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far,” Mr Musk said on Twitter.“As a reminder, I was a significant supporter of the Obama-Biden presidency and voted for Biden over Trump,” the Twitter owner said.

Mr Musk said in June he was leaning towards supporting Mr DeSantis for president in 2024, and added the Florida governor would easily defeat President Joe Biden in the election. When asked back then about Mr Musk’s support, Mr DeSantis joked, “I welcome support from African-Americans. What can I say?”Mr DeSantis is especially popular with conservatives for taking the lead on culture war issues concerning race and gender. His governorship has been marked by his rejection of pandemic-related health restrictions, passage of a law limiting discussion of LGBTQ issues in schools, and a feud with Walt Disney over the law.

Mr Musk urged Americans to elect a Republican Congress in the US midterm elections earlier in November to counterbalance Mr Biden’s Democrats. However, Democrats defied Republican hopes for a “red wave” in the midterms and retained control of the Senate, while the Republicans only won a narrow majority in the House of Representatives.
