Elon Musk recommends voting for Republicans in US midterm elections
“For independent voters: Shared power limits the worst bipartisan excess, therefore I recommend you vote for Congress Republican, given that the office of president President is Democracy,” Musk said on Twitter.
Hardline Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so it’s the independent voters who really decide who’s in charge!

Nonpartisan election forecasters and pollsters show Republicans have a very good chance of winning a House majority, with control of the Senate likely to be more closely contested.
Musk has previously said he would vote Republican but said he supports censorship on both sides of the aisle.
“Hard Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so it’s the independent voters who really decide who’s in charge!” Musk added on Twitter.
