The Chief Executive Officer of Twitter and Tesla, Elon Musk has urged Americans to vote for Republicans in the United States midterm elections currently holding.
Musk said this on Tuesday through a tweet to his 115 million followers on the Twitter platform he purchased with over $44 billion recently.
According to the US richest billionaire, his tweet was not borne out of criticism that he had faced from Democrats and his other business dealings but for a moderate government.
“To Independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,” he said.
“While it’s true that I’ve been under unfair & misleading attack for some time by leading Democrats, my motivation here is for centrist governance, which matches the interests of most Americans”
