Elon Musk Officially Abandons Democrats, Speaks at GOP’s Wyoming Retreat on Same Day Liz Cheney Defeated
[This is from August. This might give some insight into why they're freaking out over Elon Musk owning Twitter! Jan]
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially completed his move to abandon the Democratic Party by speaking at the Republicans’ Wyoming retreat this week.
The tech mogul spoke at the GOP event on the same day Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) suffered a crushing primary defeat from President Donald Trump-endorsed challenger Harriet Hageman.
Musk said earlier this year that he always voted for Democrats but was switching to vote for Republicans in the future.
He then followed through on that promise in June and voted for a Republican candidate for the first time ever.
Musk voted for Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX), who won the special election for Texas’ 34th Congressional District shocking the Dems in the process.
Now the billionaire has officially sealed the deal by attending and speaking at a fundraiser retreat in Wyoming hosted by House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on the same day Cheney lost big.
The event was held at a resort in Teton Village, near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Musk took part in a fireside chat with donors, House members, and Republican candidates.
