Then in July, he once more promoted a DeSantis candidacy. He claimed DeSantis would win so simply in opposition to Biden he wouldn’t must marketing campaign. He additionally stated Trump was too outdated to function president once more.
Trump can be 82 at finish of time period, which is simply too outdated to be chief government of something, not to mention america of America.
If DeSantis runs in opposition to Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will simply win – he doesn’t even have to marketing campaign.

Why is his verbal backing of DeSantis vital when the governor has not made a ultimate choice? As a result of Musk has the potential to single-handedly fund a DeSantis presidential marketing campaign ought to he select to take action. Contemplating Musk is value nearly $200 billion, he may write a nine-figure test with out even blinking.
A potential DeSantis Presidential SuperPAC can be insane to not solicit Musk’s monetary help. The governor will want each penny to not solely get previous Trump within the GOP major, but additionally to prevail in opposition to Biden or no matter left-wing loon the Democrats put up in 2024.
A nine-figure test additionally would possibly scare off listless major candidates and clear the sector. Why would the likes of Nikki Haley, Larry Hogan, and Liz Cheney compete in opposition to each a loaded Trump and DeSantis? Even Mike Pence would possibly decline to embark on a quixotic and doomed marketing campaign as properly.
There’s little proof whether or not Musk will present any monetary help, although. A test of previous donations reveals a whole bunch to each Republican and Democratic campaigns although nothing eye-opening moneywise. His largest general contribution was $75000 method again in 2006. A quantity alongside these traces will imply little to the success of a DeSantis presidential marketing campaign.
Musk is a person who paid $44 billion for Twitter as a result of he was disgusted over the platform’s censorship of free expression. A rising feud with Trump together with a nasty major battle may present the impetus towards unprecedented monetary backing. Hell hath no fury like an indignant billionaire scorned.
The approaching months will show attention-grabbing if and when DeSantis throws his hat into the presidential ring. Musk has the potential to considerably form the first if he desires and harm Trump within the course of.
