Elon Musk is a brilliant entrepreneurial innovator who is on the cutting edge of the modern world. Thus his conversion to the Republicans is of no surprise, as why would a man like that currently align himself with a hateful, racist, sexist party like the Democrats?

FNC: ‘Twitter is reeling after Elon Musk claimed that he will be voting for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

During a live episode of the All-In Podcast at a Miami tech conference, Musk told his hosts that he would be voting Republican in the upcoming elections despite his track record of almost exclusively voting Democrat.”

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 … 🍿

He stated, “I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically – overwhelmingly. Like, I’m not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear. Now this election, I will.

“The issue here is that the Democrat Party is overly controlled by the unions and by the trial lawyers – particularly the class action lawyers,” he explained. He added, “And generally if you see something that is not in the interest of the people on the Democrat side, it’s going to come because of unions – which is just another form of monopoly – and the trial lawyers.”

Conservatives were happy. Radio host Buck Sexton tweeted that Musk knows how “insane” it would be to vote Democrat. He wrote, “The choice is sane vs insane… @elonmusk knows that. Good move.”

“So @elonmusk has declared for freedom. Good,” tweeted radio ace Hugh Hewitt. Journalist Tim Pool wrote, “[M]aybe the left should reflect on why people are fleeing from them.”

“Bingo, @elonmusk. You can’t be a Democrat. (And for now you have to vote for Republicans to save America, and we can hash out the rest of the stuff afterwards.),” tweeted The Rubin Report host Dave Rubin.

Conservative comedy duo The Hodge Twins tweeted, “Elon Musk just announces he’s voting Republican. Well, what would you expect from a genius?”

Radio jock Mark Kaye tweetied, “After supporting Democrats his whole life @elonmusk says he will finally vote for a Republican. If you have ever voted for a Republican before, take pride in knowing that you are smarter than the richest man in the world.”

But the left went ballistic. Ah, sweet schadenfreude. MSNBC political hack Elizabeth Spiers tweeted, “Given his epic history of lying and his actual real world behavior I’d like to see evidence that he’s ever *not* voted Republican.”

Former chief-of-staff to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-N.Y., Lindsey Boylan wrote, “This man just wants attention. He may be the richest man in the world for a time, amongst the most powerful, and he cannot stop seeking attention. To have so much and feel so little. How depressing.”

And liberal gnat Ben Spielberg claimed Musk’s switch was done to “stroke” his own ego: “Billionaires like @elonmusk, Donald Trump, and @MikeBloomberg feel comfortable flipping between both major political parties because both parties serve the ultra-wealthy. They know neither supports actual economic justice and thus switch whenever doing so can stroke their egos.” Wow. They are really snippy on this one. Just shows how much it hurts them and thus how amusing it is for the rest of us.
