DeSantis has been expected for months to launch a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, which will put him up against <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>, the current frontrunner in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk, meanwhile, is the CEO of Tesla and one of the world\u2019s richest people. He\u2019s exhibited a conservative streak in recent years, particularly after his acquisition of Twitter and decision to unban a number of controversial accounts, including Trum\u2019p\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s more from NBC about the launch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Musk and DeSantis will host an event on Twitter Spaces, the site\u2019s platform for audio chats, on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. It will be moderated by David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur who is a Musk confidant and DeSantis supporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That same evening, the campaign will release a launch video, and DeSantis will begin visiting several early states after Memorial Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relationship could be a significant boost for DeSantis by giving him an introduction to, and credibility with, Musk\u2019s massive following \u2014 including his 140 million Twitter followers. But it could prove a burden should DeSantis become distracted by the tycoon\u2019s many controversial comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida\u2019s Republican governor Ron DeSantis will tomorrow evening officially announce his presidential campaign in a virtual appearance with Elon Musk, NBC News reports, citing three sources familiar with the plans.
