Accused of not supporting free speech, Elon Musk defends decision to vote Republicans in Nov

Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Monday hit out at Democrats again in a series of tweets. He reiterated that he would vote for Republicans in November following The Democratic Party’s ‘cold shoulder’ to Tesla and SpaceX. He tweeted:

I support free speech, but not any one candidate. In fact, I gave money to & voted for Hillary & then voted for Biden.

However, given unprovoked attacks by leading Democrats against me & a very cold shoulder to Tesla & SpaceX, I intend to vote Republican in November.

The comments came after he posted a message about Memorial Day, which he said was a time to remember “those who fell to preserve the light of freedom.” The post received a lot replies, some of which accused the CEO of not really caring for freedom because otherwise, he “wouldn’t be supporting Donald Trump.”

You don’t care about freedom, Elon. If you did you wouldn’t be supporting Donald Trump.

But they have become the party of division and hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold,” the 50-year-old Tesla CEO tweeted. “Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months,” read his tweet.

In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
