Elon Reveals How He Just Voted, Predicts ‘Massive Red Wave’ Coming – Opinion

Elon Musk is fun to cover because he’s a plain-speaking person who connects with what the average person thinks. If he can acquire Twitter, it’s going to make it so much better. But he’s also fun to cover because it’s like watching an awakening of someone who is getting it — he’s seeing the truth and he’s not afraid to say it, even if that costs him with the liberal side of the aisle.

Musk previously stated that he would vote for Republicans after having never voted Republican. He also called Democrats the party of “division and hate.” He put his money where his mouth was on Tuesday.

He trumpeted that he voted Republican in the 34th District in South Texas and he’s predicting a “massive red wave.”

I voted for Mayra Flores – first time I ever voted Republican.

A massive red wave will hit 2022.

Musk lives in a modest $50,000 house near Space X in Boca Chica. But he wasn’t the only person in the heavily Democratic and Hispanic area to flip for the Republican Mayra Flores.

It’s difficult to overstate the magnitude of the political earthquake underway in the Rio Grande Valley tonight.

Republican has received 50% of the votes. @MayraFlores2022TX34 is where Democrats are LEADING, with Democrats occupying the top spot for over 100 years. This district is 85% HISPANIC!

As we noted, that final count wasn’t really even close, 50.98 percent to 43.33 percent. Now, that was a special election in which she’s filing in a seat and she will have to run again in November in a redrawn district. Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman is rating that district a “lean Democrat.” But it was a “lean Democrat” now and she won. In November, it’s likely to be a huge wave, as Musk noted, that will sweep in a lot of people.

Musk was also asked if he would vote Republican in the election of 2024. On that, he wasn’t saying yet definitively, but he said he was leaning towards Florida Governor Ron DeSantis — if DeSantis runs.

DeSantis was he said had better chances of winning than Andrew Yang.

“I’m thinking of creating a ‘Super Moderate Super PAC’ that supports candidates with centrist views from all parties,” Musk also said.

As Musk has previously said, he didn’t leave the Democrats, they left him — and many others — with their extremist views. Add to that now, the failed policies of Joe Biden and the Democrats who don’t seem to understand word one about the economy or how to solve any other problem, and it’s going to become a huge flood of defecting voters in November.
