DeSantis Set to Announce 2024 Run on Twitter With Elon Musk [Wednesday]

[speak easy]

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is planning to announce the start of his 2024 presidential campaign on Wednesday in a live audio conversation on Twitter with Elon Musk, the platform’s polarizing owner, according to people with knowledge of his plans.

Mr. DeSantis’s entry into the Republican primary race against former President Donald J. Trump has been widely expected, but the decision to do so with Mr. Musk adds a surprising element and gives Mr. DeSantis access to a large audience online. NBC News first reported the plans.

The event on Twitter Spaces is planned for 6 p.m. Eastern. Mr. DeSantis is expected to later appear on Fox News in an interview with Trey Gowdy, a former congressman from South Carolina, according to the network.

6. Both are already blocked.

Those blue flagged morons are amusing for a few minutes but I got better things to do. Frankly bored with Musk and his flailing platform.

7. Half of twitter won't be very amenable to this announcement

[speak easy]

9. Maybe more than half -

Dems, dem-Independents and Trump supporters.

8. Knowing Trumps ego

He will make tomorrow, coincidentally 5 minutes before Ron’s announcement, his first twitter post since being reinstated.
He is incapable of letting Desantis have any limelight on his own, and his pyscho followers will cheer him on.
Sit back and enjoy the ride……

15. Title sort of suggest he is running with Musk.

I guess nobody else thought that.

Maybe he should have gone into space to announce it, but too many enemies would have a pot shot at him.

[speak easy]

16. Musk cannot be president.

Born in South Africa to foreign nationals.
