Musk, who is expected to buy Twitter for $44 billion, said that he voted for Mayra Flores, who Tuesday won a special election for the U.S. House seat in Texas District 34.
“I voted for Mayra Flores – first time I ever voted Republican,” Musk tweeted. “Massive red wave in 2022.”

DeSantis has not said whether he intends to run for President in 2024. Musk also was asked whether his political donations would be “evenly spread out” as in the past.
