This morning Elon Musk came out in potential support of Governor Ron DeSantis in 2024 if he were to run for president.
When asked about voting for a Republican for president, Musk said he was leaning toward DeSantis:
I assume republican for president 2?

What do you think about @AndrewYang?

I supported Yang last time, but DeSantis has a better chance of winning

Gov. DeSantis was asked about this today and he had a great response to Elon’s support:
DeSantis quipped “I’m focused on 2022, but with Elon Musk what I would say is, you know, I welcome support from African-Americans. What can I say?”
Love it.
