Ahead of Iowa’s presidential caucuses on Monday evening, Tesla CEO Elon Musk extended his support for the long-shot Republican presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, predicting that he "will do far better" in the state than polls suggest.
On Sunday, Musk commented on a video of Iowa Rep. Steven Holt's (R-Iowa) interview shared on his social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
When questioned about Ramaswamy trailing behind former US president Donald Trump and other Republican candidates, Holt dismissed the authenticity of the poll numbers and suggested that the people surveyed have primarily been asked about their support for Trump, Haley, or DeSantis, with Ramaswamy’s name not being presented as an option.
