Elon Musk said Donald Trump should “sail into the sunset” rather than run for president again and predicted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will easily beat Joe Biden if the two square off in 2024
In a series of tweets to his more than 100 million followers, Musk pointed out Trump, now 76, would be 82 by the end of a potential second presidential term. That’s “too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America,” the Tesla Inc. CEO wrote. Musk also said there was “too much drama” when Trump was in office.
This marks the first time Musk, who’s also CEO of US government contractor Space Exploration Technologies Corp., has said Trump should forgo another campaign. In an interview with Bloomberg News last month, Musk said he was undecided when asked if he’d back Trump, who’s strongly hinted at another run.
Musk, 51, has been increasingly vocal about his leanings the last few months after tweeting in September last year that he preferred to stay out of politics. His latest musings were in response to criticism Trump directed at him this past weekend at a rally in Alaska.Article content
