Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said he “can’t wait” to join Twitter CEO Elon Musk on the platform just a day after Republican Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, hosted a joint event with the latter, announcing that he was jumping into the 2024 race for the White House.
Kennedy posted the comment in response to Musk’s tweet that “all presidential candidates are welcome” on Twitter.
Fox News Digital reached out to Twitter and Kennedy’s campaign to ask if there were any plans for the two to appear together in a similar format to the DeSantis event, but did not immediately receive a response.
DESANTIS, MUSK BASH THE MEDIA – AFTER TWITTER CHAT CRASHING EMBARRASSMENT
Musk faced intense criticism after the Twitter Spaces feature event with DeSantis was mired in repeated technical issues Wednesday night in a black eye for the social media platform. Twitter’s mobile app crashed several times and users complained they couldn’t hear the broadcast.
However, technical issues do not appear to have deterred Kennedy, who had previously found an ally in Musk on the matter of the Democratic primary debates.
Musk last month tore up the Democratic National Committee for choosing not to hold debates between the party’s three declared candidates, essentially crowning President Biden in his bid for re-election.

“DNC has already announced that it will not allow any debates in the 2024 primaries. Biden must not be challenged. Everyone on the Democratic side must shut up and line up. Not having debates is undemocratic and ridiculous No progressive should accept this some kind of power grab,” Musk tweeted.
Besides Biden, Kennedy also faces author Marianne Williamson in the race for the Democratic nomination.
