Elon Musk gives nod to John Deaton in Massachusetts Senate race against Elizabeth Warren
Published On Oct 21, 2024, 7:34 PM
Elon Musk endorsed John Deaton, a Republican Senate candidate in Massachusetts, who is competing against incumbent Democrat Elizabeth Warren. Deaton has gained significant support from the crypto industry due to his pro-crypto stance and criticism of government regulation, while Warren is known for her critical views on cryptocurrencies. Despite Musk's endorsement, Deaton faces a challenging campaign, trailing Warren by a significant margin in polls ahead of the November 5 election.
