‘Epic disaster’: DeSantis 2024 launch with Elon Musk on Twitter flops

The highly anticipated launch of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ 2024 bid for presidency fell flat recently on Twitter. DeSantis hoped to drum up excitement for his campaign by posting a photo of himself with tech billionaire Elon Musk, but the post was met with criticism and backlash, leading to what some are calling an “epic disaster.”

Many Twitter users were quick to point out the controversial nature of Musk, who has faced widespread criticism for his business practices, public statements, and behavior. Some questioned the wisdom of aligning with someone whose reputation has been so heavily tarnished.

Others criticized DeSantis himself, questioning his qualifications for the presidency and highlighting his controversial actions as governor, including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his controversial stance on environmental issues.

Despite the negative reception, DeSantis has remained undeterred in his presidential ambitions, continuing to promote his campaign and looking for ways to gain support and momentum.

This incident highlights the challenges that politicians face in promoting themselves and attracting voters in an increasingly polarized and divisive political climate. It also underscores the importance of carefully considering one’s associations and public image, and the potential consequences of aligning with controversial figures.
