Elon Musk Says US Voters Should Back Republicans In Midterms

Elon Musk tweeted that "shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties", and since the Democrats already have the presidency, a Republic Congress would provide a balance of sorts

Twitter owner Elon Musk has asked people to vote for the Republicans in the mid-term elections. Explaining why he wants a Republican Congress, the eccentric owner of the microblogging service tweeted that "shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties", and since the Democrats already have the presidency, a Republic Congress would provide a balance of sorts. 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.

"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," Mr Musk tweeted.

"Hardcore Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters are the ones who actually decide who's in charge," he said.
