The richest man in the world, American billionaire Elon Musk urged "independent-minded" voters to vote for Republicans in the upcoming November 8 midterm elections for Congress.

"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," Musk wrote on Twitter. ""Hardcore Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters are the ones who actually decide who’s in charge!" he believes.
