Ron DeSantis will announce he is running for president of the United States during a discussion with Twitter CEO Elon Musk, multiple sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.

Musk and the Florida governor will host an event on Twitter Spaces on Wednesday at 5 p.m. (6 p.m. ET).

It will be moderated by David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur who is a Musk confidant and DeSantis supporter.

According to the report, his campaign also will release a launch video, and DeSantis will hit the campaign trail.

The DeSantis team has been in talks with Musk for weeks, according to NBC source. In those conversations, the source said, Musk has indicated he doesn’t think former President Donald Trump can win back the White House.

“He’s interested in the future, and he’s interested in winning again,” the person said.
