Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday that while he voted for Democrats in the past, he will now vote for Republicans.

The 50-year-old billionaire recently said he would reverse Twitter's ban on former U.S. President Donald Trump, a Republican, when he buys the social media platform. He also said Twitter is far-left-biased because it is headquartered in California, a state known for its progressive politics.

Musk has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration and Democrats for their proposals to tax billionaires and give more tax incentives to union-made electric vehicles. Tesla does not have unions at its U.S. factories. Last year, Tesla, which counts California as its biggest market in the United States, moved its headquarters from California to the more politically conservative Texas.

Musk moved his personal residence from California to Texas, where there is no state income tax. He has sold about $25 billion worth of Tesla stock since last year in order to pay taxes and finance his proposed acquisition of Twitter. Analysts said the sales helped him cash in on Tesla's stock rally and diversify his wealth.

So what.

If you genuinely stand for the People and for the Nature , You will the King and the Leader in the World 🌎 You don't need any special strategy to make money ! But money 💰is not God 😊

vr_oswald Democrats are not the party of hate (we). We care. Take a better look at Republicans for hate please.

took him long enough.

Disenchantment

And this guy is considered smart? 🤣

Who’s really surprised now if all the democrats that bought his crappy car’s would stop he’d be out of business lol

Who cares? If you change your politics just because Musk does you don’t deserve your vote.

This is worth reporting because he is well respected as a thought leader?

As expected.

Ha shocking 🤣

Olha eu sou um simples taxista há 40 anos que é meu só isso ! , E outra só falo português , é isso

This is true 'entitlement'. Thinking that 'you' made money in a vacuum. Just the contribution of the people that worked to build our highways for his vehicles is WHY 'you' pay tax. (not to mention the vets, the slaves, the Native Americans, etc. that died for this country.)

I sympathize w/elonmusk completely. In my opinion, Democrats have become far too extreme. It's like they've become the Democrat version of the Tea Party (anyone remember them?) Personally however, I don't entirely trust Republicans either - which is why I've become Independent.

So the ocean is wet? Fire continues to be hot? Corporate welfare grifter Musk never supported Democrats

He is republican...as always

only two choices (in America)? democracy shouldn't be binary should it?

We Dem's don't need the 1% to vote our way.

So he votes party, not the individual. Good to know even the rich are so narrow minded.

He already did. And has been for a long time. Supporting a party that condones a attack on our capital. Maybe 🤔 Musk should go back to South Africa.

My next car WILL be electric. My next car WILL NOT be a Tesla. I call this regenerative braking

Of course Mr. Apartheid would embrace the party of white supremacy.

CindyDB89 I read that at least 11 GOP governors are resisting any EV incentives...is this about his bottom line, again?

He's openly admitting to being a fascist then. That's what the modern republican party stands for now. They are actively anti-democracy.

Long Time Maga No One Cares

Rich ideology is money 💰 wherever money goes switch sides. No exceptions.

What a completely predictable turn of events.

I’d respect it more if he just said “I don’t wanna pay more taxes” as the reason. Because we all know that’s what it is.

Elon Musk says he'll be voting Republican in upcoming election, possibly for first timeMusk said he has previously 'voted overwhelmingly for Democrats.' Democrats we're cool until they got hi-jacked by China and Russia (I don't have proof, js) Hmmm, trial lawyers and unions are a real big problem for non-billionaires. (Sarcasm) The middle class wants affordable healthcare and financial security. Unions benefit the middle class, but don’t benefit oligarchs.
