“Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America. If DeSantis runs against Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will easily win – he doesn’t even need to campaign”, Musk had said in a tweet back in 2022.
Musk’s tweet was not a solitary critique; it came during a time when Trump had publicly accused Musk of being dishonest about his voting history.At a rally in Alaska, Trump claimed that Musk had falsely denied voting for a Republican candidate, saying, “You know, he said the other day, ‘Oh, I’ve never voted for a Republican.’ I said, ‘I didn’t know that; he told me he voted for me. So he’s another bulls*** artist.'”
In response to Trump’s remarks, Musk took to what was then Twitter, now X, to clarify his position. “I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” Musk tweeted. He also said that Trump would be too old and that if Florida governor Ron DeSantis were to run against President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, DeSantis would win easily without much effort.
The dynamics between Musk and Trump however, appear to be shifting once again. Trump, now a Republican presidential candidate for the 2024 election, has publicly stated that he would consider Musk for a key role in his administration if re-elected. Musk too, has extended his full support to Trump.
During a campaign stop in York, Pennsylvania, Trump praised Musk’s intelligence and innovative mindset, suggesting that the Tesla CEO could potentially serve as a significant adviser or even join his cabinet.
“He’s a very smart guy. I certainly would, if he would do it, I certainly would. He’s a brilliant guy,” Trump remarked, following a two-hour interaction with Musk on X, the social media platform Musk now owns.
