The race is on! Over the past while, Kanye West's presidential campaign has been stirring up big buzz in the media. When he first shared his plans to run, the rapper had the support of Elon Musk, but it seems that the Canadian has since reconsidered.

On the fourth of July, West took the internet by surprise when he announced his plans to run in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

"We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States! #2020VISION," the 43-year-old tweeted.

The surprising announcement has received plenty of mixed reactions from other celebrities and fans, but West's friend Musk was quick to endorse the rapper.

"You have my full support!" the SpaceX CEO wrote on Twitter.

Since his initial announcement, Ye sat down for an exclusive interview with Forbes to discuss his presidential platform.

The father of four revealed that his anti-abortion and anti-vaccine stance due to his strong religious beliefs. These controversial views seem to have caused Musk to reconsider his support for West.

In a since-deleted tweet from July 8, the Canadian star wrote, "We may have more differences of opinion than I anticipated."

Since the tweet was taken down, it remains unclear if Musk will still be supporting West's presidential bid.

In his interview with Forbes, West revealed that if elected, he would run the United States like Wakanda — the fictional kingdom in Marvel's Black Panther.

"I'm gonna use the framework of Wakanda right now because it's the best explanation of what our design group is going to feel like in the White House."

"If I win in 2020 then it was God's appointment. If I win in 2024 then that was God's appointment," he added.

Despite having his campaign plans thought out, LADbible reports that West has yet to take the necessary steps to be added to this year's ballot.

Only time will tell if another celebrity will make it into the White House!
