Tesla and SpaceX CEO and prospective Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted on Wednesday that he feels he was "spot on" with a previous tweet saying that a "campaign against him" would "unfold."
"Judging by the relentless hatestream from the far left, this tweet was spot on," mentioned Musk on Twitter, referring to his previous tweet from the same day, which has received over 100,000 comments.

His Wednesday tweet stated that no longer supports Democrat politicians, and that they have become the "party of division and hate." Instead, he wrote that he would be voting Republican.
"Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold," Musk added.
Musk expressed similar sentiments in another Wednesday tweet, writing, "Political attacks on me will escalate dramatically in coming months."

On Tuesday, Musk voiced a similar sentiment to listeners of the All-In podcast, saying that, for the first time, he is going to break with his previous loyalties to the Democrats and vote Republican.
"This administration doesn't seem to get a lot done," Musk said at the time. "The Trump administration, leaving Trump aside, there were a lot of people in the administration who were effective at getting things done."
In another thread of tweets published on Thursday, Musk lamented at the fact that most Americans want a political party that's "moderate on all issues," but that "unfortunately it's not realistic."

Generally, the party with less power (currently Republicans at national level) moves more toward center to win moderate votes, so control of House/Senate/President goes back & forth over time.
