Former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk has formally endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) to be the next governor of Florida.

Responding to a February clip of Donalds announcing his gubernatorial bid, Musk wrote on Wednesday night, “Congratulations, Byron! You certainly have my full support.”

“Thank you @elonmusk!” Donalds said in return. “I am honored to have your full support.”

The endorsement comes as Sunshine State Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) cannot run again due to tern limits. Donalds has also received endorsements from other key political figures, including Rep. Jimmy Patronis (R-FL), top Florida sheriffs, and none other than President Donald Trump.

“I am hearing that Highly Respected Congressman Byron Donalds is considering running for Governor of Florida, a State that I love, and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024,” Trump said in February, describing Donalds as a “TOTAL WINNER” and someone who will fight “tirelessly to Secure our Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Strengthen our Military, Protect our Vets, Restore our Economic Power, Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.”

Trump predicted Donalds would be a “truly Great and Powerful Governor for Florida.”
