Elon Musk is not spending $45 million a month to elect former President Donald Trump, though he has created a new super political action committee (PAC) to fund the Republican candidate, the billionaire told conservative commentator Jordan Peterson during an interview Monday evening.
During the interview, which was hosted on Musks platform, X, Peterson asked Musk if he had shocked himself by donating a substantial amount of money to Trumps campaign. Musk who has previously criticized Trump, calling him a bull in a china shop paused to correct the media.
Whats been reported in the media is simply not true, Musk said. I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.

(78 posts)That all you need to say. He knows 45 million x3 would be a ton of cash wasted on a losing proposition.
He knows who is going to lose.
This is the beginning of the end

(51,084 posts)...that the thing the Republicans hate most is "foreigners" interfering in our elections.
The South African-born Musk falls into that category of people to a tee.

(14,046 posts)First.. 44.99 million would qualify.
So would 45 million to a pac that supports trumps causes, not specifically to trump.
So would not personally giving the money but instead manipulating finances to have the money coming at the expense of other investors in tesla, Twitter, SpaceX, or other ventures he has his fingers in.
