Florida's governor will make the announcement Wednesday night in a conversation with the mogul, owner of the social network and other companies such as Tesla. DeSantis' campaign will release a launch video, and the governor will begin visiting several of the first states to vote in the Republican primary after the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The launch will tie Musk closely to one of the Republican Party's rising stars. Musk has indicated that he does not believe former President Donald Trump can regain the White House, according to a source.
