Elon Musk's first-ever GOP vote triggers Dem congressman: Musk 'supports white supremacy'
Fox News ^ | June 15 2022 | Gabriel Hays

Elon Musk’s revelation that he voted Republican for the first time on Tuesday angered Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., and other prominent liberals on Twitter Wednesday.

Celebrating the news that Republican candidate Mayra Flores won the special election for Texas’s 34th Congressional District – a district that’s been under Democrat control for decades – Musk revealed to the Twitterverse that he voted for her.

On Wednesday morning, Musk tweeted, "I voted for Mayra Flores – first time I ever voted Republican." The world’s richest man also cheered for GOP victories in the midterm elections, adding, "Massive red wave in 2022."

----- SNAP -----

The statement caused quite a buzz on Twitter as it represented Musk making his good on his statement that he was planning on voting Republican soon.

A historically Democrat voter, the Tesla CEO told audiences during his guest appearance on the All-In Podcast in May, "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."

Musk’s first foray into voting Republican was met with some sharp hostility from liberals, including Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who responded to the businessman's declaration with a harsh rebuke.

"Elon Musk is not a leader. He’s just another Republican billionaire who supports white supremacy and authoritarianism because he doesn't want his workers to unionize or to pay his fair share in taxes," the lawmaker tweeted.

He added, "The GOP just tried to end democracy and now he’s supporting them."

Very nice to see the very scared Dems peeing their pants over losing their majority in November.

The real racist here is Jamaal Brown. Just how the heck does Musk voting for a very brown, born in Mexico American make Musk a "racist"?

Because Musk was born in South Africa, the Dems will be happy to hang the “white supremacist” label on him.

But Ron Desantis said he’s happy to have the support of an “African American”!

democrats will lose the mid-terms because of their hate of Americans. democrats joined the enemies of Americans in seeking to destroy America, witness their destruction and witness their hatred of Americans by the policies they support. The lists of policies of hate by democrats of America and Americans is overwhelming. This is what democrats do is hate and destroy. Everyone at FR has known this fact for decades. Welcome to the nightmare America and although the election was stolen, many voted for the hate and destruction. Enjoy ….

Doesn’t matter, if you are a conservative, or even just not onboard with the radical liberal agenda, you are “White”.

He can’t criticize Musk. Musk is African-American.

Musk is not doing a very good job at being a white supremacist.

Musk knows a heck of a lot more about Africa than Bowman does. After all, Musk was born in and grew up in Africa.

Most “African-Americans” can’t even name 10 African countries or 10 famous Africans.

Can anyone seriously give me an example of one single solitary Republican in the past 157 years since the Civil war who is openly a “white supremacist”? I

Isn’t Mayra Flores Hispanic? So now supporting Hispanics makes one a white supremacist?

Another Leftist bigot, closet racist, and idiotic blowhard spewing idiocy. Nothing new here especially given most of us know that if one does not tow the line, so to speak, one is a multitude of things ranging from deplorable, to conspiracy theorist, to racist, to white supremacist, to you name it.....
