Re <<Biden is out of touch with reality>> am agnostic. Maybe he means well or his team is not particularly learned in mathematics Elon has an arguably good idea, but let us see whether he means it, and if others allow him to go forward to Musk-ify USA politics zerohedge.com Elon Musk 'Leaning Towards DeSantis' For President In 2024, Predicts 'Massive Red Wave' In Midterms Tesla (and soon to be Twitter) CEO Elon Musk says he's leaning towards supporting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for president in 2024 - as former President Trump (who owns Twitter competitor Truth Social) didn't make the cut. [url=][/url] In a Tuesday evening Twitter thread in which Musk admitted to voting for Texas Congresswoman Mayra Flores, the "first time I ever voted Republican," adding "Massive red wave in 2022." When asked which Republican he would support for President, he initially replied "tbd" (to be determined), only to admit when pressed that he's leaning towards "DeSantis."

I’m thinking of creating a “Super Moderate Super PAC” that supports candidates with centrist views from all parties — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 15, 2022 As Bloomberg notes, DeSantis has positioned himself as a staunch conservative, and 'heir apparent to Donald Trump.' [url=][/url] Trump, meanwhile, gave Musk the cold shoulder - announcing that he wouldn't return to Twitter even if allowed back once Musk takes the helm. Instead, Trump will remain on Truth social - telling Fox News in April: "I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on Truth," adding "I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on Truth. The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter."

Chevron, ExxonMobil Fire Back At President Biden Over Blame For Soaring Gas Prices New York (Knewz) — Oil companies are firing back a couple days after Joe Biden slammed executive for making unacceptably high profit margins while Americans struggle to fill their tanks. According to The Hill, ExxonMobil and Chevron released statements this week shifting the blame to the president, whom they say can be doing more to address the oil crisis. Biden has blamed both Russia’s war in Ukraine and greedy oil companies for the rise in gas prices, which have gone up nearly $2 a gallon in the past year. Oil companies are refusing to sit back and take it. “We understand the significant concerns around higher fuel prices currently faced by consumers around the country, and the world. We share these concerns and expect the Administration’s approach to energy policy will start to better reflect the importance of addressing them,” Chevron said in a statement targeting Biden. According to The Hill, ExxonMobil has offered up short- and long-term solutions. The business stated that emergency measures “such as waivers of Jones Act provisions and some fuel specifications to increase supplies” would help with gas prices in the short term and long-term relief could be seen if the Biden Administration “streamlined regulatory approval and support for infrastructure such as pipelines.” Chevron contends that Biden is purposely making business tough on oil companies, having said he would “impose obstacles to our industry delivering energy resources the world needs,” The Hill reported. Both oil companies stated that they are increasing production to help with gas prices. Chevron stated it will be increasing Permian Basin production by more than 15 percent in 2022, while ExxonMobil stated that it has upped its refining capacity to make U.S. light crude at approximately 250,000 barrels per day, according to The Hill. Average gas prices in the United States eclipsed $5 a gallon over the weekend, according to AAA, just as families have begun their summer vacation traveling. knewz.com
