Writing on Twitter, Musk said, "I don't hate the man, but it's
time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset."
"Dems should also call off the attack – don't make it so that
Trump's only way to survive is to regain the Presidency," he
added without explanation.
Musk's remarks were in response to comments Trump made at a
rally in Anchorage, Alaska on Saturday, where he was speaking in
support of U.S. House of Representatives candidate Sarah Palin
and U.S. Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka.
The former president said at the rally that Musk was not going
to buy Twitter Inc and that the Tesla Inc chief executive had
got himself a mess.
"(Musk) said the other day, I've never voted for a Republican. I
said I didn't know that; he told me he voted for me. He's
another bull***t artist, but he is not going to be buying it
(Twitter)," Trump said.
Last month, Musk said at the Qatar Economic Forum that he had
not decided whom he would support in the next presidential
election, a week after saying on Twitter that he was leaning
towards supporting Florida governor Ron DeSantis for president
in 2024.
On Monday, Musk added that if DeSantis ran against Biden in
2024, "then DeSantis will easily win" and that "Trump would be
82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of
anything, let alone the United States of America."
