Elon Musk plans to ‘vote Republican’ and warns of political attacks on him
Elon Musk said on Twitter that he plans to “vote Republican” and warned of “political attacks” on him, the latest in a series of tweets from the billionaire expressing discontent with Democrats and progressives.
Musk’s tweet comes as the Tesla CEO shocked markets this week by announcing his $44bn deal to purchase Twitter was on hold as he awaited further data on fake and spam accounts on the social media platform.
Analysts have speculated the Tesla executive is seeking to back out of his Twitter takeover plans, or buy the company at a lower price. His tweets since – including that he was buying the platform to “own the libs” – have attracted further controversy.

Elon Musk Tweets He’ll Vote Republican—And Slams Democrats As ‘Party Of Division & Hate’
Prospective Twitter buyer Elon Musk proclaimed Wednesday he will no longer back Democrats, making a vow to "vote Republican," in a tweet that became his latest to dominate the social media platform he hopes to soon own.
Musk lambasted Democrats as the "party of division & hate," marking the latest in a string of attacks the billionaire has made against the political left, which have significantly escalated since Twitter's board accepted a $44 billion deal for him to buy the platform on April 25.
Musk's tweet echoed comments he made in an appearance at a tech conference on Tuesday, where he announced he planned to vote Republican in an upcoming election (Musk is registered to vote in Texas—it’s not clear which election he was referring to), despite perhaps having "never" voted for a Republican in the past.
