Elon Musk supports Andrew Yang, the Tesla chief executive officer said in a tweet that could give the tech entrepreneur’s 2020 White House bid a boost.
Musk, who often interacts with some of his almost 28 million followers on Twitter, made the declaration while responding to political commentator Dan Carlin, who uses the handle @HardcoreHistory.
Carlin’s tweet had cited Yang’s earlier tweet on leadership.
Musk said in a separate tweet that universal basic income, an idea Yang supports, is “obviously needed”.

Thank you Elon - this means a great deal. Congrats on building the future.

The CEO jokingly added that Yang would be the first “openly goth” US president.
Yang told Jezebel in April he wanted to be America’s first ex-goth president.

The comments came after Yang tweeted some pictures of his younger self and revealed his favourite bands were The Smiths and The Cure.

Well it looks like my senior year yearbook photo is about to make the news in a feature about candidates when we were young. Sharing it here so you can see what I was about in 1992. Favorite bands: the Smiths and the Cure. pic.twitter.com/6qASjBceys

Yang has qualified for the next round of presidential primary debates to be held next month in Houston, the ninth Democrat to do so.
“The country heard my message and is ready to talk about real solutions to gun violence, the new realities of the American economy, and how we measure our health and success as a nation,” Yang said in a statement on Thursday.

“I’m excited to have those conversations in Houston and throughout the 2020 election.”
The major Democratic presidential candidates gathered at the Iowa Wing Ding on Friday, a major Democratic fundraiser to speak and glad-hand with donors and other voters.
Yang’s campaign manager Zach Graumann said the campaign has added more than 35,000 donors and raised more than US$1 million since the last presidential debate in Detroit.
Musk endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 presidential election, but ultimately agreed to join Trump’s economic advisory team when the president took office.
That arrangement lasted for less than six months, however.
Musk left the advisory team in June 2017 due to disagreements with the Trump administration’s climate change policies.
