(PM.) Twitter boss Elon Musk suggested that he may regret voting for President Joe Biden during an interview on Tuesday with CNBC journalist David Faber.
Speaking on the Joe Biden presidency, Faber asked Elon Musk, who voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election, if he regrets that decision.
Without providing an exact answer, Musk said, “Man, I wish we could have just a normal human being as President.”
“There’s that old saying that’s like, ‘We’re better off being run by people picked at random from the phone book than the faculty at Harvard.’ I don’t know who said that but it was somebody very wise,” Musk said to Faber during Tuesday’s one-on-one interview.
“I would say if we could do that for a president, that would be great!” Musk exclaimed.
“Obviously you’re not happy with Biden,” Faber said.
“Don’t we just want a normal human being?” Musk responded and later emphasized the importance of havig a president that is a good chief executive officer, insinuating the current one lacks that ability.

“It’s not simply a matter of do they share your beliefs,” Musk said. “But are they good at getting things done.”
“There’s a lot of decisions that need to be made every day. Many that aren’t related to beliefs. And you just want a good executive,” Musk said.
