Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been evasive about whether he will throw his hat into the 2024 race for the White House but if he does, he appears to have the support of billionaire Elon Musk who has made his early endorsement.
The Tesla/SpaceX CEO took to Twitter to react to the big win by Republican Mayra Flores who easily won the special election for the open House seat in Texas’ 34th Congressional District and in doing so, flipped the longtime deep blue stronghold red in what was seen as a bellwether race contest for the upcoming midterm elections which many are predicting will be a moment of reckoning for Democrats.
Musk took to Twitter to mark the occasion, the first time that he has ever voted Republican, and predicted a “Massive red wave” come November.
I voted for Mayra Flores – first time I ever voted Republican.
Massive red wave in 2022.

Musk, whose purchase of Twitter put him atop the left’s enemies list with DeSantis and former President Donald Trump, responded to a question from a user on who his early preference is for 2024, an election that will be the most important in U.S. history if the nation is to have any chance of recovering from President Biden’s ruinous policies.
“DeSantis,” Musk replied to a question of whom he’s leaning towards.
DeSantis

On Wednesday, DeSantis who is focusing on his campaign for reelection to a second term as governor in the Sunshine State reacted to Musk’s nod and couldn’t have done a more perfect job of trolling Democrats, a skill that he has taken to an entirely new level.
“So what I would say, you know 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?” DeSantis quipped, a nod to Musk’s South African homeland before he came to America, a land of opportunity where he found success likely beyond his wildest dreams.

While Trump is still the overwhelming favorite to roll to the Republican Party nomination if he chooses to run and the Nancy Pelosi-Liz Cheney January 6 committee doesn’t succeed in taking him out, DeSantis is looking like a serious contender, having just edged out the ex-POTUS in a Colorado straw poll two months after a strong showing in Texas where he clobbered the entire field of potential GOP candidates if Trump isn’t a factor.
Leftists went absolutely nuts on Twitter after DeSantis’ brilliant response to Musk’s dropping of his name as well as the idea that the “African-American” would endorse him in the first place.

Elon Musk was raised in Apartheid South Africa and family directly benefited from Apartheid. To refer to him as African American as a funny joke is a double blast of racism: one for the people he oppressed in South Africa and two for real African Americans who are oppressed here.

Elon Musk Is a white South African NOT an African American.
Republicans just love take every single chance they get to keep denegrating black people.
Ron DeSantis is a fucking racist.
— Alex Cole (@acnewsitics) June 15, 2022
And just like that, Musk became that arrogant, racist, xenophobic, authoritarian wanna-be fascist’s personal bitch. (Because that’s how the term “African-American” was loaded, dispensed & thought-of by Desantis). Congrats.

DeSantis stirring up the far right racists that constitute his base.
That quip about Elon musk being African American has them going.
If it wasn’t for starting culture wars, @GovRonDeSantis would have nothing to say. He is a divider & the worst governor in the country.

Bigots think referring to white South Africans as African American is amusing because they think attempted genocide and enslavement of Black Americans is funny and they resent us using the term to refer to our legitimate culture and ethnicity because it puts us on equal footing. https://t.co/4xzZn4g4JJ

Ron DeSantis spent the past year banning books, stigmatizing gay people, declaring war on private companies, presiding over tens of thousands of Covid deaths, and dismissing concerns over climate change as “left wing stuff” and yet… won the endorsement of Elon Musk. https://t.co/4pXaThg19p

Others who are less prone to wild emotions will relish pitting DeSantis against Trump, seeking to divide and conquer by sowing resentment amongst conservatives whom they will hope will be easily tricked.

So? Kamala Harris is Jamaican and Indian so they call her African American?? Musk is ACTUALLY from Africa but not African huh??? He’s literally 100% more African American than 99% of blacks in this country. How pathetic. Racist much.
It’s hilarious watching blacks, who are hands-down the most racist, bigoted, disrespectful, and most hated race in the world, try to play the victim over pretty much everything.
Face it, knee-grows, you’re weak and you’re pathetic, and without dem handouts you would just lay down and die, which would be just fine by me.
You stupid MF’ers are just going to continue to blame slavery – something none of you ever experienced – as an excuse as to why you’re a complete an utter failure at life.
But…
Was it slavery that made you dumber than other races?
Was it slavery that made you uglier than other races?
Was it slavery that made you more violent than other races?
Was it slavery that made you more disrespectful than other races?
Was it slavery that made you lazier than other races?
I think not. It’s just who you are as a race.
Now GFY…
I find it interesting that Elon Musk is an actual African American (born in Pretoria S. A.) unlike 90 plus % of the Black Americans in our country. I’m sure that riled a lot of left liberals and democrats but fact is fact!!
Deeelightful, as TR would have said. These pretentious lefties are upset because the Governor is using their language against them. Don’t know where DeSantis came by this eloquence but other conservative/GOP politicians should pay attention.
I just love it when the liberal-leftwing loon’s heads explode. They are so humorless and take themselves so seriously that you have to pity them and pray for their salvation! Imagine going through life in that mental condition…sad!
Rather than salvation I would pray for their exist stage left!!
Most of the negroes in America have never even been to Africa and are unable to name the leaders of three African countries. They are not “African American”
African-American is a term designed to split and fracture the concept of all Americans being one citizenry. My father came over from Austria before the 2nd World War…he became a naturalized citizen and never referred to himself as anything other than an American.Those of us who are citizens are Americans…we might be black, white or green with blue polka-dots but we are Americans!
So, according to the nut jobs, to be from anywhere in Africa, you must be black. That’s about as racist as it gets. Musk is from Africa and he is American meeting the definition of African-American more closely than most of the Blacks in this country. Everyone who considers themselves to be AA should embrace the notion that the richest man in the world comes from your ranks. Congratulations!
He is technically and African American, like a Mexican American, Korean American, Iraqi American etc. These idiots took the Bait Ron dangled in front of them and ran with it. That is what make Ron so much fun to follow. Imagine a DeSantis Musk ticket that would have the liberals heads exploding. 😂😂
To whoever is ‘approving’ comments
PLEASE STOP ALLOWING THE
“I make…. an hour working from home”
Comments like this appear multiple times in every comment section on the articles.
I am with you but I don’t think it helps because I have wrote about three times and told them about that Crap. I see all those saying they make so much an hour and yet our comment’s are waiting for approval. It Sucks.
Thanks for the reply and I agree on all points. They put those up everyday and I’m tired of it. I flag every single one as ‘spam’ and they keep popping up. 🙄
So, I guess terms only apply if it fits the liberal democrat narratives. If the term can’t apply to ANY and EVERY person born in Africa that moves to and, becomes an American, then why the hell are we still using the term to begin with. If you’re here and, are a citizen of America, then how about we drop all other names and just refer to ourselves as “AMERICANS”. Oh, I know why, because that would finally deliver a message of unity to the world and the democrats can’t let that happen since it goes against their entire narrative of division and racism. And, at the end of the day, that is just bad for business for the democrats since they can’t run on their failed policies which never work.
And do these people honestly hear themselves when they post their little twits? The one comment about “starting culture wars”…uh, that would be the LEFT’s agenda.
And they’ve been Americans their entire lives. How about we only divide the people as being American or anti-American?
They need the African part to be the victims. Notice how conservative blacks do not label themselves as African because they are not vitims.
Now the WHO are stating that they want to address changing the name
Monkey Pox because it could be referred . to the black race .
What an absolute crock of shit .
I my self and I’m sure I don’t stand alone ,ever associated the name to be referred to a human race . The WHO sucks.
This is what gas lighting is all about.,create tension, bad feeling ,anger.
The WHO is full of shit . .
Had my fill of the organization with the blown out of proportion, Covid ,
the Chinese virus.
Had my fill of the bastard fucki also.
If that’s not the most racist observation (not you hux – the WHO) so blacks and monkeys are what…
It seems that if leftist socialist twitter mobs take up arms in words against you then you have them worried! They only go after people who are a threat to their socialist agenda. Btw if someone was born in Africa, and became an American citizen then they can be called African American if they wish.
The black population BORN IN AMERICA are AMERICANS period. It doesn’t matter that your great great great great great great relative on your sperm donors side was a slave either. YOU have never been a slave so sit down and shut up.
One other point it was AFRICANS who SOLD OTHER AFRICANS to the RICH EUROPEAN slave traders to bring to the U.S. That fact is never mentioned.
Black people born in America are Americans Africans that became American citizens are African Americans. I am Irish but was not born in Ireland I was born in America but I don’t say oh I’m Irish American
You can’t joke with Lefties when it comes to their racist based politics. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Sure you can. I often laugh in their faces.
Marginalize and demean them at every opportunity. They’re never gonna be your trusted pal.
The progressive leftists are so angry, so violent, so racist, so misandrist, so misogynist, so anti-America ……… they’re just so-so at best.
Priceless. Ron DeSantis, America’s best governor.
The ones “less prone to wild emotions” are likely in the minority by now. That’s what happens when your concept of “loyalty” borders on mindless agreement with a destructive, elitist agenda.
