Elon Musk Says Donald Trump Should ‘Sail Into the Sunset’

If I have been a betting girl, I might dare to say that former President Donald Trump is sort of cranky that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is over shopping for Twitter. After all, this virtually definitely implies that Trump will not be getting again on Twitter, which he undoubtedly craves. So, what does the previous president do in his anger? According to Musk, he begins mendacity, though it’s not clear precisely about what.

Over the weekend, Trump lambasted the tech billionaire, who he at one level referred to as “Leon,” and proclaimed that he knew that Musk wasn’t going to undergo along with his plans to purchase Twitter. The former president went on to critique Musk’s assertion that he had by no means voted for a Republican—an obvious reference to the Tesla chief’s tweet in mid-June that he had voted for Mayra Flores in Texas, which he claimed was the first time he ever voted Republican—and mentioned that the billionaire had advised voted for him prior to now.

“You know he said the other day, ‘I’ve never voted for a Republican.’ I said ‘I didn’t know that. He told me he voted for me,’” Trump mentioned at an event in Alaska. “So, he’s another bullshit artist.”

Musk addressed Trump’s feedback on his voting document on Monday night time in a tweet, responding simply, “Not true.”

Now, if this have been another cheap individual, you’d think about that the response indicated that Musk had certainly not voted for Trump. Yet, Musk is slippery, so his response might additionally imply that he by no means advised Trump that he voted for him. We’ll probably by no means know until Musk determined to elaborate.

Gizmodo reached out to Trump for touch upon Tuesday morning however didn’t obtain a response by the point of publication.

The billionaire did go on to make clear his ideas about Trump, who’s reportedly contemplating another bid for the presidency in 2024, and indicated but once more that he was leaning in the direction of Republican Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida. DeSantis has not announced whether or not he’s working within the subsequent presidential election.

“I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” Musk tweeted in response to a video of Trump’s Alaska speech. “Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency.”

He added that if Trump have been to win the election in 2024, he can be 82 when his time period ended, “which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America.” Ouch.
