Elon Musk Dumps Cold Water On Massive Trump Donations

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is clarifying recent reports he is donating $45 million monthly to a PAC supporting Donald Trump.

In a Tuesday interview with conservative commentator Jordan Peterson, the tech billionaire pumped the brakes on reports of the $45 million figure for Trump.

“What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,” he said.

The same day Trump announced JD Vance as his running mate The Wall Street Journal reported Musk’s massive contributions to America PAC.

Formed in June, America PAC is focused on registering voters and persuading constituents to vote early and request mail-in ballots in swing states, according to one of the people. The coalition assessed that the Democrats have historically had very robust “get out the vote” campaigns and took note of the amounts of money that the Biden camp has dedicated to what are called on-the-ground efforts in swing states. America PAC will try to counter that.

Musk later explained on the social media platform X, which he owns, that he will still back America PAC. He did not confirm nor deny the $45 million figure, or what proportion of those funds would go to backing Trump.

“I am making some donations to America PAC, but at a much lower level and the key values of the PAC are supporting a meritocracy & individual freedom,” he wrote. “Republicans are mostly, but not entirely, on the side of merit & freedom.”

He endorsed Trump last week, shortly after the former president survived an assassination attempt.

“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote in a post on his social platform X, alongside a video of the former president standing and raising his fist after being shot in the ear.

Musk is currently the world’s richest person, with an estimated fortune exceeding $250 billion.

  1. Big surprise there are many lies on the air right now. Who cares? Trump is going to win because the country is fed up with the rule of the lunatics called democrats in every state and across the nation. It is so bad for the dimwits running for office now that they are not identitying their party in adds. You have to look them up and this one is bad if checked.

    One little toady squirt running for senator in AZ is basically a raging dimwit for open borders, illegal aliens up the wazoo, and a liar in the way he presents himself. A vote for him is a vote to continue old Joe’s loser agenda, open borders, more job losses and running the USA into the ground. Ruben Gallego or whatever the little toads name is. I want to forget it on purpose! What exactly is his add saying? He infers help to households in AZ. Yet he will work to keep things going like they are today for certain. Mr Gallego I want to tell you I did my research on you and you absolutely lie and do not present a picture of the real you. A vote for you is a loss for the state of AZ!
