In a Twitter exchange that played out early Wednesday morning, Elon Musk indicated support for a potential presidential bid from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
In an earlier tweet, Musk also shared that he had just cast a vote for a Republican for the first time in his life and that he predicts a “massive red wave” this November.
Mayra Flores – who was the recipient of Musk’s first-ever Republican vote – flipped Texas’ 34th congressional seat in a special election last night.
With her win, Flores will become the first Mexican-born American elected to Congress.
As reported by The Texan,
“Flores has said she prioritizes border security and pro-life legislation.
Abbott framed Flores’ victory as a foothold for Republicans in a historically Democratic area of the state.
