Elon Musk responded to former President Donald Trump’s claim that Musk is “another bull—t artist.” Trump was referring to Musk backing out of the Twitter deal and saying Musk voted for him, although Musk says that he voted Republican for the first time in 2022 for Texas Rep. Mayra Flores.
Musk said the deal was off, citing Twitter’s “bot” problem, but this could be far from over, as Musk’s deal might be settled in court. Trump said during his rally in Anchorage, Alaska:
“Elon. Elon. Elon. He’s not going to buy Twitter … And where did you hear that before? From me … He’s got himself a mess, I’ve looked at his contract … Ya know, Elon says he’s never voted Republican, but I didn’t know that because he told me that he voted for me, so he’s another bull—t artist.”
It is unclear whether Musk voted for Trump, Biden, or at all in 2020; however, he did mention that he voted for former President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
Another reason Trump could have called him out is that Musk noted that he is leaning towards and will likely vote for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in 2024 if he chooses to run for President.
Musk responded today to Trump on Twitter:
“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset. Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency.”
Although Musk said he would vote Republican, it does not seem likely he will vote for Trump in 2024 if Trump decides to run for a second term. Musk added:
“Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America. If DeSantis runs against Biden in 2024, then DeSantis will easily win – he doesn’t even need to campaign.”
When syndicated talkshow host Joe Pagliarulo mentioned the Trump administration’s accomplishments, Elon said:
“Yeah, but too much drama. Do we really want a bull in a china shop situation every single day!? Also, I think the legal maximum age for start of Presidential term should be 69.”
I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.
Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency.

Recently, in the New York Times/Sienna College poll, a Michigan teacher who voted for Biden in 2020 said:
“I’m just going to come out and say it: I want younger blood … I am so tired of all old people running our country. I don’t want someone knocking on death’s door.”
It will be an interesting primary if DeSantis and Trump both run in 2024, but Musk has made it clear that he will support DeSantis if he runs.
Elon just confirming he truly is just a “Bullsit Artist “.
Re: 18 - stick to hydrology, as you don’t know squat about the origins of Latino. It’s a word that was never used in any Classic Latin text. It is a word that refers to someone of Latin-American descent. You’re going to look foolish referring to someone from Spain or Romania as a Latino.
Funny how age wasn’t an issue for the dried up husk with dementia who puts in two hours of being led around by the hand each day, but for the guy who is sharp as a tack and puts in 16 hour work days - age is again an issue.
I find the Constitution to be a very good guide in answering these sorts of questions, and it seems the Founders did not worry about excessive age, but rather, excessive youth.
Praising COMMUNISTS is not patriotic for a real American.
It’s not rocket science.
Find a quote on video where Elon praised communists. Thanks.
SpaceX Falcon taking more payload to orbit per year than all other rockets combined.
Tesla on track to produce over 1 million cars per year.
But Elon is BS artist.
That was a truly dumb thing for Trump to say.
See my original post.
Even Ray Charles can see it...and he’s blind & dead...thanks.
Musk is a loose cannon. I don’t trust him even a little bit.
I love Trump but seriously he needs to pick his fights SMARTLY. Sometimes I wonder....AYE TRUMP! 😏
BS artist isn’t necessarily critical, when said with admiration.
The media is trying to pit Trump against DeSantis.
I would prefer Trump/Desantis 2024 and Desantis/Palin 2028
“There’s definitely a dark side to Elon Musk if he’s praising CCP communists...”
And there’s countless trolls on social media who are paid by the ChiComms and the Twitter board to bash Musk. They’re very active over at the Millennial moron site Reddit. These brainless zombie twits all follow the commie script, posting the same talking points over and over.
Trump DeSantis team MAGA piss off all the left and make things normal a win win deal.
This is true, and have actually experienced that personally on a couple of occasions. But I don't think that was how it was intended here.
Yeah, good one.
This should poleaxe SpaceXcentric over on YouTube.
Sooooo, you’re OK with Elon Musk praising CCP communists?
Got it....
I agree with everything Musk said here.
You would think by now that Trump would have learned that old lesson: Think before you speak.
We certainly need new and younger blood in the White House.
Please, no more fumbling, bumbling octogenarians!
>>>Funny how age wasn’t an issue for the dried up husk with dementia who puts in two hours of being led around by the hand each day, but for the guy who is sharp as a tack and puts in 16 hour work days - age is again an issue.<<<
Very well said!
De Santis is of Italian heritage.
All of his great-grandparents were born in Italy.
He has no Hispanic heritage.
