According to a number of media sources, this will take place during an event organised by Twitter Spaces, where DeSantis will have a conversation with Elon Musk, writes Dagens Næringsliv.

I’m going to interview Ron DeSantis and he has quite an announcement to make. Musk said at a conference on Tuesday.

It will be the very first time that something like this happens on social media and with questions and answers in real time, without a script. So it’s going to happen directly, says Musk.

44-year-old DeSantis is considered by many to be ex-president Donald Trump’s (76) strongest challenger in the battle for the Republican nomination before the presidential election in 2024.

US President Joe Biden (80) has confirmed that he will run for re-election. So far, only two Democrats have confirmed they will challenge him — lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (69) and the writer Marianne Williamson (70).
