Elon Musk announces he’s switching from the Democrat party to vote Republican

“I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically,” Musk acknowledged. “Like I’m not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear. Now this election I will,” he said.

Musk’s metamorphosis is well documented on his Twitter handle over the last two years. In July 2020, Musk, “The left is losing the middle.”

Two months earlier, Musk had famously tweeted, “Take the red pill.”

The red pill is a famous reference from the film “The Matrix,” where the hero, Neo, is offered a choice between a red pill and a blue pill; the red pill would free him from a dream world imposed on humanity and let him see reality. The blue pill would leave him in his comfort.

President Biden's Democrat party has come under fire over the last year for blatant mistakes including the messy withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan last year where Americans were left behind and killed, and the immigration crisis where millions of illegal immigrants have been allowed to enter the US through the Southern border, the supply-chain delays that have left supermarkets empty, the prohibition of oil drilling on Federal land that has caused oil prices to shoot through the roof across the world and so on.

Musk's decision doesn't come as a surprise to many. He's been siding with the conservatives for some time now, purchasing Twitter being one of the signs that he was parting ways with them.
