Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced that he will be running for the US presidency, which he will declare during a discussion with Twitter CEO Elon Musk on the platform's audio chat feature, Twitter Spaces. As Musk is seen warmly by most conservatives for these actions, DeSantis' decision to announce his presidential candidacy on Twitter Spaces could potentially appeal to this demographic​​. It's also worth noting that by using Twitter, DeSantis may be signalling his willingness to compete in the online space with his 2024 rival, former President Donald Trump​. The relationship between DeSantis and Musk is a complex mix of mutual admiration, shared social circles, shared platform, unconventional campaigning, and potential risks and rewards. Their collaboration in the upcoming presidential announcement will be a significant event in the lead up to the 2024 elections.
