Earlier this morning, we told you how Elon Musk — the richest person in the world — is “leaning towards” supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president in 2024:

Well, maybe Elon like DeSantis for his common-man appeal? Check out the latest FEC report on the Florida Republican’s net worth:
“Gov. DeSantis, who is 43, still has over $21,000 in student loans. He doesn’t trade individual stocks. His net worth is $318,987, far lower than many top politicians and if he runs for president he may clock in at the lowest net worth in a crowded field.”

Note: His reported net worth DECREASED by $30,000 in the past year as he “appears to be spending down cash” from the sale of his only home:
Gov. DeSantis appears to be spending down cash from sale of family’s only home, which had been deposited into that $202,000 USAA account with a previous balance as high as $235,000. His reported net worth dropped $30,000 during last year. https://t.co/6ian1c6uuE https://t.co/DP4H4DRL1F

That’s right. Elderly socialist Bernie Sanders is wealthier than Ron DeSantis. Let that sink in for a minute:

Matt Walsh adds, “just more reasons to prefer DeSantis over anyone else in the potential 2024 field”:

So, will he run?
This adds to his already growing appeal. Millions of voters are weary of choosing among elderly millionaires. #DeSantis https://t.co/QULOlfRgJq

And we can’t wait to see what happens with President Joe Biden’s plan for student loan cancelation. It’s like a fastball down the middle of the plate and Gov. DeSantis is just waiting to crush it out of the park:
I was surprised to learn that Ron DeSantis still has student loans. But guess what? He doesn't think WE should have to pay them off… unlike @AOC who literally would force working-class taxpayers to take the hit for her own student loans.
