Elon Musk said in November he would vote for Florida governor if he ran for president.

He said this month that he’ll cast his first Republican vote for president in 2024.

Frida Ghitis: Musk’s politics, as he describes them, are incoherent beyond revealing a distaste for things that make his life less convenient.

The billionaire bought Twitter under ideological pretenses, framing it as his contribution to free expression on the internet at a moment when that was a right-of-center cause célèbre.

By launching a paid product at the same time he was making a hard-right pivot in his public persona, Musk has changed Twitter dramatically.
