Billionaire Elon Musk is doubling down on his promise to vote Republican.
During a recent podcast appearance, Musk made waves by announcing he would no longer vote Democrat —instead, he’s crossing the aisle to support Republican candidates this time around. Musk confirmed his stance on Twitter.
“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 …”

Musk first committed to vote GOP on the All-In podcast, saying “I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear. Now this election, I will.”
Musk predicted that the left would be coming for him in light of recent criticisms.
“Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months,” Musk tweeted.
