(Patriot.Buzz) – Losing support from all fronts for ruining the greatest country in the world in less than four years, billionaire mogul Elon Musk recently refrained from backing Joe Biden in the forthcoming 2024 presidential battle.
In a discussion on “The Don Lemon Show,” the man behind Tesla, SpaceX and X shared his thoughts after being questioned about his fresh interaction with former President Donald Trump.
Diving into politics during the segment aired on CNN, Lemon probed, “Are you leaning towards anyone?” Musk answered with a no, chuckled and added, “I’m leaning away from Biden.”
This marks a stark contrast to Musk’s past political choices, as he chose Biden over Trump in the 2020 elections.
According to the New York Times, Musk and Trump met in Palm Beach, Florida, with expectations for more extensive dialogue in the future. Describing his casual encounter with Trump, Musk recounted to Lemon he was having “breakfast at a friend’s place [and] Donald Trump came by.”
“Let’s just say he did most of the talking,” Musk remarked and emphasized he has no plans to contribute financially to Trump’s campaign efforts or legal challenges.
The conversation marked Lemon’s return to CNN following Musk’s abrupt end to their interview and the ensuing cancellation of the show on X, which Lemon blames on allegations that Musk disliked the interview.
Reflecting on the interview, Lemon mentioned, “There were no restrictions on the interview that he willingly agreed to, and my questions were respectful and wide ranging, covering everything from SpaceX to the presidential election. We had a good conversation. Clearly, he felt differently.”
In turn Musk criticized Lemon on X, saying, “His approach was basically just ‘CNN, but on social media,’ which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying.”
During his reappearance on CNN, Lemon told “Outfront” host Erin Burnett that the interview had moments of tension and suggested Musk’s comments on free speech were merely rhetoric.
Back in 2022, Musk started drifting away from Biden, saying, “My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would be the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far.”
