Elon Musk says he's open to the possibility of voting Democrat again after having backed the Republican-controlled Congress.

 Twitter CEO Elon Musk indicated on Monday that he is open to the notion of voting Democrat again in the future, only hours after declaring his support for the Republican Party ahead of the US mid-term elections.

To be clear, he wrote, "Up until this year, I really voted only for Democrats, with my historical party affiliation being Independent.

He said in a tweet that he is considering casting a Democratic vote in the future.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, publicly declared his support for the Republican-controlled Congress earlier on Monday and advised voters to do the same.

"To be clear, my historical party affiliation has been Independent, with an actual voting history of entirely Democrat until this year," he tweeted further.

Musk declared on Twitter that it is preferable for there to be two political parties in power, using Joe Biden as the Democratic party's current White House occupant as an example.

Musk tweeted on Monday, "To independent-minded voters: Shared authority reduces the worst excesses of both parties. Therefore, provided that the Presidency is Democratic, I urge voting for a Republican Congress."

Independent voters actually choose who is in power because ardent Democrats or Republicans never support the opposing party. Added he.

Notably, Musk declared in May of last year that he would vote Republican.

In less than a week, the US will hold its mid-term elections. Preparations are currently in progress.

According to surveys, Republicans are predicted to win the House of Representatives on Tuesday, but it's unclear who will control the Senate. US midterm elections are general elections held at the halfway point of a president's four-year term in office.

All 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 33 or 34 of the 100 seats in the US Senate are up for election during the upcoming elections.

Elon Musk, however, endorsed Republicans a week after he acquired control of Twitter and started making substantial changes to the microblogging customer experience.

Parag Agrawal, the CEO of Twitter, and Ned Segal, the head of finance, left the company's San Francisco offices after Tesla CEO Elon Musk closed the anticipated Twitter in the final week of October.

Additionally, the blue tick cost that Musk decided to impose also did not sit well with many.

In addition to the "blue tick fee," Musk has been facing a lot of backlash on Twitter for firing staff members. Musk defended his decision to remove staff members by claiming that Twitter was losing more than USD 4 million every day and the firings were extremely important.

"Unfortunately, given that the firm is losing more than $4 million per day, there is no other option for Twitter but to reduce its workforce. Everyone who was let go received a 3 month severance package, which is 50% more than what was legally necessary "Tweeted by Musk. (ANI)
