Entrepreneur Elon Musk voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 US presidential election, but now he believes that a “normal person” should stand at the head of the country, he said in an interview with CNBC.
Thus, he commented on the question of TV presenter David Faber about whether he regrets his choice in 2020. “Dude, I wish the president was a normal person. That’s what I want,” Musk said in response. He also cited the notion that “we’d rather be led by people chosen at random from the phone book than by Harvard professors”, noting that he thinks this opinion is wise.
When the presenter asked Musk if he was dissatisfied with Biden now, he answered the question with a question: “Don’t we all want a normal person to become president?” Faber then asked Musk to clarify what “normal person” meant, suggesting that it was about competence.
“Yes, I definitely think so. <…>. Since the president is the de facto chief executive of the country, it really matters to us whether he is a good chief executive. It’s not just about whether they share your beliefs, but also about whether he knows how to do something? There are many decisions to be made every day. Many of them are not related to moral beliefs. And we just need a good leader, the CEO of America,” Musk said in response.
