Tesla CEO Elon Musk worked to rally Austin, Texas, voters to oust the county's George Soros-backed District Attorney Jose Garza on Super Tuesday, and reportedly even urged his own employees at the electric vehicle giant's headquarters in the area to pull the lever for a candidate that will "actually prosecute crimes."
Musk took to his social media platform X Tuesday morning, calling on voters in the greater Austin area to "please go to the polls and vote for a new" Travis County DA, sharing a post from Garza's primary challenger, fellow Democrat Jeremy Sylestine.
Then Bloomberg reported Tuesday afternoon that Musk had sent an email to Telsa employees that day urging those in Austin to vote out "far left" Garza, calling on them to instead vote for Sylestine, whom he described as a moderate Democrat who will "actually prosecute crimes."
Garza took office in deep blue Travis County in 2021 after a campaign backed by progressive billionaire Soros, pledging to "reimagine" criminal justice and prosecute police officers.
