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 Musk’s platform, X, Peterson asked Musk if he had “shocked” himself by donating a substantial amount of money to Trump’s campaign. Musk – who has previously criticized Trump, calling him a “bull in a china shop” – paused to correct the “media.”
“What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,” Musk said. “I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.”
No, I am saying that when Obama was elected many liberals had an undue sense of euphoria, which led many of them to overlook or even justify his flaws, and just generally assume that he would choose or be able to fix basically anything bad, as opposed to criticizing his flaws and keep up the anti-Bush era enthusiasm to do things like repeal the PATRIOT Act.
