SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Twitter owner Elon Musk has endorsed Republicans for the upcoming midterm elections in the US. The Tesla owner has said in a tweet amid the backlash from activist groups over his recent commitment to content moderation. He also left many confused when he said that the microblogging site will be a platform for an accurate source of information, as many wondered who would authenticate the information. 
 
In the tweet, Musk wrote, “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.” He later added, “Hardcore Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters are the ones who actually decide who’s in charge!”
