Elon Musk Endorses Rick Caruso for LA Mayor
On Friday morning, the world’s richest man tweeted his endorsement of businessman Rick Caruso to be the next mayor of Los Angeles.
It is rare for me to endorse political candidates.
My political leanings are moderate, so neither fully Republican nor Democrat, which I am confident is the case for most Americans.
Executive competence is super underrated in politics – we should care about that a lot more!
