Musk Revealed as Top Donor to GOP PAC

July 14, 2018 at 7:01 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been revealed as a top donor to a Republican PAC aimed at keeping control of Congress,” the Daily Beast reports.

“Musk has a history of donating to both parties, but contributions to the Republican Party raised eyebrows on Twitter, where many questioned how the ‘socially liberal’ billionaire vowing to fight climate change could support the GOP’s platform.”

Always thought there was something shady about him. Years ago I worked briefly for a venture capitalist who knew Musk and said he didn’t trust him.

There are plenty of other electric cars on the market, most of them do not have a years-long wait list.
And I know others who would likewise forgo buying a Tesla 3 if they knew about this!
