From there Maher also noted specific policy concerns he has that Republicans staunchly oppose, like doing something about climate change. This brought him to Elon Musk’s transparently distractive claim this week that he is going to start voting Republican.
“When He said ‘now I’m gonna vote Republican,’ I gotta part company there. Come on Elon… I can’t go there with him. Because of what I just said, because of where the big issues are.
