Elon Musk reveals who he’s voting for in the next election after previously claiming not to be ‘Republican nor Democrat’

ELON Musk has verbally committed to vote Republican for the first time in his voting history.

Musk’s announcement that he would vote Republican came during a live interview with the hosts of the All In podcast.

“I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically. Like I’m not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear,” Musk said. “Now this election I will.”

Musk signaled his dissatisfaction with the Democrats, remarking, “The issue here is the Democratic Party is overly controlled by the unions and trial lawyers.” 

Musk called unions “another form of monopoly,” – a dig at labor groups that are currently engaged in union-led struggles against large companies such as Amazon and Starbucks.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO did sting Republicans for their tendency toward “religious zealotry”.

Musk’s contradictory political style has been under close inspection since his bid to buy Twitter hit the press on April 14th.

He tweeted an infographic of his political position, which suggested that the left has gotten radical enough to leave him behind.

As a donor, Musk has spread his money across the aisle, giving funds to Democrats and Republicans – despite his wealth, he has not donated in quantities that could make or break a candidate.

Conservative politics have been the flavor of the month for billionaires.

Jeff Bezos took a jab at the Biden administration on Twitter when he knocked its plan for reducing inflation.

Peter Thiel, another PayPal alum and Silicon Valley kingmaker, singlehandedly donated millions to JD Vance, a pro-Trump Republican running for Senate in a battleground race in Ohio.

For his part, Musk has championed free speech as a bedrock issue and has promised to reactivate Donald Trump’s Twitter account.

The twisted nature of Musk’s politics is further emphasized in regard to the environmental aims of Tesla.

The manufacturer is pioneering a green, gasoline-free automotive economy – while oil and gas companies have largely aligned themselves with the Republicans.

The midterm elections will be held on November 8, 2022.
