Tesla CEO Elon Musk in a tweet today said that he voted for Democrats in the past ‘because they were (mostly) the kindness party’
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that though he voted for Democrats in past “because they were (mostly) the kindness party”, but will now vote for Republicans.
Stating the reason for not voting Democrats, the Tesla CEO, on Wednesday, said: “They (Democrats) have become the party of division and hate.”
Musk also said that Democrats will now be using “dirty tricks campaign” against him.
“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold,” billionaire Elon Musk tweeted.
In a tweet before this, Musk warned that political attacks on him will “escalate dramatically” in the coming months.
Musk’s latest post comes with days after he during an appearance on the “All In” podcast revealed his plan to vote Republican in upcoming elections.
“I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically. Like I’m not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear. Now this election I will,” Musk had said.
Musk has been quite active in criticising the Biden administration and Democrats for their proposals to tax billionaires and give more tax incentives to union-made electric vehicles.
