Elon Musk, the world's richest person, on Monday urged Americans to vote Republican in Tuesday's US midterm elections, throwing his weight behind Democratic President Joe Biden's opponents just days after taking control of Twitter.

Musk, who is also Tesla CEO, has faced criticism from some groups who believe his absolutist stance on free speech will increase misinformation on Twitter. Some advertisers haveHis tweet to more than 110 million followers on Monday represented the first time the head of a major social media platform explicitly endorsed a US political party, ahead of an election where Democrats are poised for potential losses.

“Hardcore Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters are the ones who actually decide who’s in charge!” Musk added on Twitter, which he purchased late last month. In a statement to Reuters, Jessica Gonzalez, co-CEO of Free Press, an advocacy group for media issues in democracy, said Musk’s comment showed he “is not showing himself to be an even-keeled CEO that advertisers can trust”.

So what?! You lot are leftist hacks, faken news, just like cnn, msnbc, nyt etc! TSEK!!!!

Put Musk's tweet in perspective. He is calling for a shared Government. Not?

More money than sense!

quote from your daily emailer: “Since there's apparently not enough to do at Twitter at the moment, the company's new head appears happy to get political rather than arrest the advertiser haemorrhage currently underway at Twitter.” Rich of you to accuse him of Bias🤔

Throwing his weight behind Joe Biden’s opponents..This line is dodgy are u trying to campaign for Biden?

He's just alienated at least half of America for life...

Amazingly worded tweet this.

Come on DM, you’re supposed to be the voice of reason, but to say he “urged Americans” is just sensationalism. Your journalism is better than this, don’t become a mainstream rag.

So Twitter is a Republican and so is Musk? Interesting!

One tweet from elonmusk elonmusk generates how many tweets? Wish I could do the maths!

What is the relevance or are you just melting in the corner? Gee wiz, you are so anti-backbone
