Musk's choice of candidates is interesting.

  • Musk says he would vote for ex-Guantanamo torture chief Ron DeSantis
    Elon Musk at the Met Gala in New York in early 2022. 

Elon Musk - the new CEO of Twitter, announced that he would be supporting Ron DeSantis, who played a pivotal role in Guantanamo torture, in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. 

One Twitter user on Friday wrote to Musk, "Would you support Ron Desantis in 2024, Elon?" to which he responded "Yes." 

Musk in May revealed in a tweet that he voted Democrat in the past, but has come to a change of heart: "they have become the party of division and hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican." 

Last week, former US President Donald Trump announced his latest presidential bid after the Republican Party failed to gain control of the Senate. 

A poll released recently revealed that DeSantis is a favorite candidate among the Republican party – even more than Trump. The YouGov survey found that 42% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents and Republican-leaning independents said they would prefer DeSantis over Trump to run in 2024. Only 35% said they would prefer Trump over the Florida governor.

ACLU sues White House to halt transfer of 10 immigrants to Guantanamo

A recent episode of the Eyes Left Podcast reels in a first-person perspective testimony from a Yemeni ex-Guantanamo Bay detainee who was tortured at the hands of popular Republican governor, Ron DeSantis. 

What the podcast reveals is that DeSantis served as a JAG officer, which essentially means that he was a Judge Advocate General Corps. However, his job was never reduced to courtrooms, but rather to conduct rogue, clandestine operations – his official job, a guise, was to “ensure the human rights of detainees.” 

It was quite the opposite.

In this podcast, former US veteran Mike Prysner interviews Mansoor Adayfi, who was deceived by DeSantis first-hand as the incumbent governor not only ordered his torture, but also sat, watched, and laughed. 

As he endured torture during his imprisonment, Adayfi narrated that DeSantis walked in, and depicted himself as the good Samaritan who wanted to relay the prisoners’ concerns to the administration. His persuasion would get the prisoners “comfortable” enough to talk, manipulating them. 

Adayfi, who was 18 when he was detained, to his innocence thought that DeSantis would “raise his concerns. But it was a piece of the game what they were doing. They were looking for what hurt you more to use it against you."

The detainees were force-fed cans of Ensure, a liquid nutrition supplement usually taken by the elderly. DeSantis watched as detainees were strapped to the chair, force-fed can after can of Ensure through their noses. 

Common Article Three of the Geneva Convention stipulates that force-feeding is an act of torture, and it is prohibited by the World Medical Association in a 1975 declaration.
