Elon Musk confirmed his comments on Monday that he did indeed intend to vote for Republicans in the next election, and tweeted on Wednesday:
“I used to vote for the Democrats, because they were (mostly) the Charity Party, but they became the Split and Hate Party, so I can no longer support them and vote for the Republicans,” he said, adding, “Now, watch their dirty anti-evolving tricks campaign.”
On Tuesday, Musk responded to an unusual clip in which he blatantly tweeted that he had a mental disability and was “special.”

Musk also responded to an email from Professor of Medicine, Howard Foreman, that since Musk was “explicitly political,” he should “expect people to treat you that way,” adding a question to Musk – “What part of it confuses you?”.
On this Musk said: “I’m not surprised at all. It’s to vaccinate the public. As a prominent vaccine supporter, you need to understand this,” adding: “Yale is the focus of the brain virus ‘awake’ trying to destroy civilization.”
I’m not surprised at all. That was to inoculate the public. As a prominent vaccine advocate, you should understand that.
Yale is the epicenter of the woke mind virus attempting to destroy civilization.

At the same time, Twitter’s board has announced plans to implement the $ 44 billion acquisition deal with Musk. “We intend to close the deal and enforce the merger agreement,” the board told Bloomberg on Tuesday afternoon, noting that they had voted earlier to unanimously approve Musk’s offer of $ 54.20 per share.
The merger agreement includes a specific provision that allows Twitter to force Musk to complete the transaction and Twitter may receive an order requiring Musk to complete the merger instead of receiving monetary compensation for any of its breaches. Earlier this week, Musk said the deal was “on hold” until he realized how many bots and spam there were on the platform – and suggested at a technology conference in Miami that re-negotiating a lower price would be “out of the question.”
“My suggestion was based on the fact that Twitter’s submissions were accurate,” Musk tweeted on Tuesday.
And adds, “This deal can not go ahead until they do.”
Musk’s tweet came after Twitter CEO Farag Agrwal posted a long thread about the company’s bot methodology that amounted to “it’s 5% or less, and we can not show how we know.”
Musk responded with poop’s emoji, followed by a tweet asking, “So how do advertisers know what they are getting for their money?”
So how do advertisers know what they’re getting for their money? This is fundamental to the financial health of Twitter.

Meanwhile, Twitter has submitted an initial proxy statement to the SEC stating that it is “committed to completing the deal at the agreed price [54.20 דולר למניה במזומן] And on as immediate terms as possible. “
