Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, on Monday urged Americans to vote Republican in Tuesday’s US midterm elections, throwing his weight behind Democratic President Joe Biden’s opponents just days after Musk took control of Twitter Inc.

Musk directed his Twitter message to what he called “independent-minded voters,” writing: “Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the presidency is Democratic.” In a statement to Reuters, Jessica Gonzalez, co-CEO of Free Press, an advocacy group for media issues in democracy, said Musk’s comment showed he “is not showing himself to be an even-keeled CEO that advertisers can trust.”

He has said that he was leaning towards supporting Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for president in 2024 and that former president Donald Trump, who sources said is likely to launch another White House run in coming days, was too old to serve as president again.In Musk’s first week at Twitter, the company laid off half its employees and flagged a drop in ad revenue. But the company’s head of safety and integrity said the platform’s content moderation capabilities remained in place.
