Elon Musk is considering backing Vice President JD Vance in the 2028 presidential election, according to reports on the billionaire's political movements.

JD Vance warned Elon Musk that launching a third party would be a “huge mistake” and urged him instead to stay “loyal” to Donald Trump’s GOP. Vance’s plea comes after reports that Musk is offering to support his bid to replace Trump in 2028 as candidates try to prepare behind the scenes without angering the president.

The tech billionaire appears focused, for now, on elevating the fortunes of Vice President JD Vance, who's widely seen as President Donald Trump's political heir.
