The world bid farewell to 2023, Elon Musk, the charismatic billionaire entrepreneur, ushered in the New Year with a bold proclamation: "LFG (let's freaking go) 2024!" But Musk wasn't merely expressing excitement for the dawn of a new year; he was hinting at what he believes will be the craziest year yet, with all eyes on the upcoming US presidential election in November.
In response to a social media post suggesting a return to normalcy after "4 years of craziness," Musk, never one to shy away from stirring the pot, retorted, "2024 is gonna be even more crazy is my prediction." With that, he signed off from 2023, leaving his followers buzzing with anticipation.
One follower voiced skepticism, expressing the hope for a more ordinary year in 2024. Musk, however, seemed to relish the idea of embracing the chaos, particularly fueled by the impending US presidential election. "With this presidential election, normal is the last thing 2024 will be," commented one follower, while another enthusiastically predicted, "It will be exciting because of the election! Trump 2024."
Indeed, 2024 is poised to be a historic year for elections, with approximately 70 countries, including global powerhouses like the United States, India, Mexico, and South Africa, set to undergo democratic tests. Over 3.7 billion voters worldwide will exercise their electoral rights, and the outcomes may reverberate globally, shaping the future landscape of international politics.
Elon Musk, not one to be apolitical, had already thrown his hat into the ring of electoral commentary in November. In a surprising move, he declared that he couldn't see himself voting for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election. Musk criticized Biden for what he perceived as a snub toward Tesla, contrasting it with the public praise Biden had bestowed upon General Motors as the leader in the electric car revolution.
Pressed on whether he would consider voting for Donald Trump, Musk remained cryptic, stating, "I'm not saying I'd vote for Trump. This is definitely a difficult choice here." Musk's political ambiguity leaves his followers intrigued, especially considering his past vocal support for unconventional candidates.
In an unexpected twist, Musk has touted Indian-origin Vivek Ramaswamy as a "promising candidate" for the 2024 US presidential election. Ramaswamy, known for his contrarian views, has caught Musk's attention as a potential disruptor in the political arena. It's worth noting that Musk, in the 2020 election, cast his vote for Biden, demonstrating his unpredictable and non-partisan approach to politics.
As we embark on the rollercoaster ride that is 2024, with Musk at the forefront of speculative political discourse, one thing is certain – the year promises to be a spectacle of global proportions. Whether it's the unpredictable twists of the US presidential election or the democratic trials in countries across the world, 2024 will undoubtedly be a year etched in the annals of history as a time when the fate of nations hung in the balance, and the world held its collective breath. Let's strap in and see where the wild ride takes us – Elon Musk has certainly set the stage for an unforgettable year ahead.
