Elon Musk hosts anti-vax 2024 candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr on Twitter Spaces after disastrous DeSantis event

Elon Musk is set to host a Twitter Spaces event with 2024 presidential candidate, and outspoken anti-vaccine advocate, Robert F Kennedy Jr- just weeks after Ron DeSantis launched his campaign using the feature.

Mr Kennedy is set to speak with Mr Musk and David Sacks on 5 June at 2pm EST in an event poised to be similar to Mr DeSantis’.

“Set a reminder for my upcoming Spaces with Elon Musk and moderator David Sacks!” Mr Kennedy tweeted on Sunday (4 June) with a link to the event.

The Spaces comes on the tail of Mr DeSantis’ technologically glitchy event filled with awkward pauses and sudden crashes which Mr Sacks attributed to a high volume of listeners.

Mr Musk received some criticism for hosting Mr DeSantis on the platform as many believed it to be an endorsement of the Florida governor’s campaign. However, he clarified that he would welcome any 2024 presidential candidate to Twitter Spaces.

Now, Mr Kennedy, the nephew of president John F Kennedy and son of Robert F Kennedy, will be the next candidate to join Mr Musk and Mr Sacks in a conversation.

Joining the conversation will be former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan, entrepreneur Omeed Malik, author Michael Shellenberger and professional surfer Kelly Slater.
