Vowed to vote for Republicans in upcoming elections
Musk, whose deal to purchase Twitter for $44 billion is currently on hold, took to the platform to take his latest shot at the Democratic Party.
“In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party,” he wrote. “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.”
In recent months, since he placed a bid that was accepted to acquire Twitter, he has openly criticized Democrats as extreme, and Twitter as biased toward conservatives.
Shares of Tesla have plunged again today, over 7% so far. Today's drop is more about the cars than Musk. Two analysts were critical. One said Volkswagen and other EVs have surpassed Tesla on product quality, Lucid Group has better technology, and GM has a better battery.
