Musk also tweeted that he supported Andrew Yang in the 2020 Presidential race, but that DeSantis has a better chance of winning in 2024. DeSantis has repeatedly rebuffed questions about any possible White House ambitions.
Musk was born in South Africa and became an American citizen in 2002.
DeSantis made the remarks during a news conference in Pinellas County to announce the reestablishment of the Florida State Guard, which will respond if necessary during the expected active hurricane season.
