    Of course he did! This is after he said he wouldn’t be donating to either party. Shows you exactly who he is.

    Maybe his self-aggrandizing comparisons to Ford have something to them. After all, Ford was a Nazi

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The publication said it is unclear how much Musk contributed to America PAC, but described the donation as a “sizable amount,” according to sources.

    Earlier this year, just days before his comments in March, Musk met with Trump and a group of prospective donors at Montsorrel in Florida, the Palm Beach home of fellow billionaire Nelson Peltz.

    The following month, Musk held a dinner in Los Angeles, California with prominent right-wing figures, including Peltz, Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and Steven Mnuchin, Trump’s former treasury secretary, among the guests.

    The gathering involved strategizing ways to raise funds to beat Democrats at a national level, according to the Puck report.

    And in May, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump and Musk had been in contact for months about possibly placing the Tesla CEO in an advisory role if the former president wins re-election this fall.

    Musk has also come under fire for using X to endorse antisemitic conspiracy theories and reinstating right-wing extremists and peddlers of misinformation previously banned from the platform.
