Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will announce he is running for president during a discussion with Twitter CEO Elon Musk, three sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.

Musk and DeSantis will host an event on Twitter Spaces, the site’s platform for audio chats, on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET. It will be moderated by David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur who is a Musk confidant and DeSantis supporter.

The relationship could be a significant boost for DeSantis by giving him an introduction to, and credibility with, Musk’s massive following — including his 140 million Twitter followers. But it could prove a burden should DeSantis become distracted by the tycoon’s many controversial comments.

The DeSantis team has been in talks with Musk for at least the last few weeks, according to a source familiar with the discussions. In those conversations, the source said, Musk has indicated he doesn’t think former President Donald Trump can win back the White House.

1. Musk isn't eligible for VP is he?

He wasn't born here, and VP has to be eligible for president, so at least there is that.

2. DeSatan will try and change that.......................

well at least in FL.

3. "(Musk) doesn't think former President Donald Trump can win back the White House"

4. Can we just launch both of them off to Mars?

They might even let TFG ride for free in the back of their ship.

Musk can provide discount one-way tickets on Starship.......

9. I like it. Maybe they will run into a Klingon Bird of Prey? No round trip.

19. I've had the same idea!

TFG can be awarded the honor of being the sole passenger on the initial voyage to Mars! And we know he's a big fan of space travel! However, what he won't be told is that there won't be a return trip! Problem solved!

22. Agree, and he can take his beloved Space Force with him.

He claims he's the very best at building things, so he and the Space Force could build a grand hotel and resort on Mars for all his and Musk's great Rethug friends..

I need to go invent low-gravity golf balls for use in space......


KY.......... .......

5. Always-trumpers say "DeSantis has all the wrong friends, Trump has all the right enemies"

They say DeSantis is being pushed forward by the Deep State to defeat the rump because the DS is deathly afraid of a second rump term for fear of prosecution and Guantanamo.

DeSantis supporters say the Deep State supports the rump because they know Biden can/will defeat the rump.


Always-trumpers think DeSantis has been bought and paid for by money that is against America First and against MAGA. They claim his endorsement by the Bushes is proof positive he is evil.

There is a civil war in the Republicon party: never-trumpers and never-again-trumpers at war against always-trumpers.

6. They are well suited

7. This just goes to show how oblivious DeSantis is to the mood of most Americans.

I don't know anyone who likes Musk and doesn't think he is the biggest, wealthiest asshole in the country.

8. I guess Kanye's still on the fence. Nt

10. How many people are still on Twitter?

I only go and check it out when some one post a link. I canceled my account
the day Musk took over.

[GenThePerservering]

11. Worst dog and pony show ever.

I don't think this is going to do what DeSatan thinks it will - Musk is a serial loser.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. Remember the last time Elon Musk launched something?

What a world.

15. What could possibly go wrong?

[kimbutgar]

16. I'll pass watching two assholes kissing each other's butts!

[Randomthought]

17. LOL

[karynnj]

18. This may be proof DeSantis has poor political sense

At this point, Musk has more people, by far, thinking unfavorably about him than favorably. Consider he lost polls on a site that he controlled.

20. Tweetle dumb and Tweetle Dee

How apropos

[2naSalit]

21. LOL!!

Two severely personality challenged assholes are going to have a conversation?

Hooo boy!

Get me some pop corn!

I'm sure there's a good movie rerun to watch somewhere else.

23. We know who will run a desantis administration

and what a shitshow it'll be. With or without musk it would be dreadful.
