 The elections, which are called the midterms because that happen in the middle of a President's four-year term, are said to be "on a knife edge", so every little bit counts. Therefore, some people are not happy that Musk has come out with a very strong political stance just before Americans go to vote. "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," Musk tweeted. Revealing that he has been a Democrat voter in the past, Musk explained that he changed his mind this year. "To be clear, my historical party affiliation has been independent, with an actual voting history of entirely Democrat until this year," he added. "And I'm open to the idea of voting Democrat again in the future." Elon Musk has told voters to go for the Republicans ( Getty Images for The Met Museu){kind=link}
Having previously said that Twitter should remain ‘politically neutral’ in order to earn ‘public trust’, new owner Elon Musk is now pushing his political views onto voters
In a move that will come as a shock to no one, Elon Musk has appeared to make a drastic U-turn by telling Americans who to vote for in the upcoming midterm elections. In what will be a defining moment in Joe Biden’s presidency, and indeed American history, voters will be heading to the polls today to decide who sits in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The Democrats, who currently hold both chambers of Congress where nationwide laws are made, are expected to lose the House and face a very tight fight for the Senate. Both parties have brought out the big guns, with former President Barack Obama joining President Biden at a rally in key swing state Pennyslvania, which is also where former President Donald Trump has been campainging for the Republicans.
