Elon MuskĀ is notĀ 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 billionaireĀ toldĀ conservative commentator Jordan Peterson during an interview Monday evening.
During the interview, which was hosted on Muskās platform,Ā X, Peterson asked Musk if he had āshockedā himself by donating a substantial amount of money to Trumpās campaign. Musk ā who has previously criticized Trump, calling him a ābullĀ in a china shopā ā paused to correct the āmedia.ā
āWhatās been reported in the media is simply not true,ā Musk said. āI am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.ā
āSir if you go full MAGA the liberals wonāt buy your cars any more.ā
(Though he can still donate all this money to PACs Iām sure and no one will know so by saying this heās probably just trying to save face and stuff give money to the shit heads.)
Honestly, at this point, now that he has the biggest golden parachute in history, I doubt he cares about the fate of Tesla.
Thatās already happening.

Iām actually in the market for a new car, and prefer to get an EV, but Tesla is out of the question. Not just because of Musk, mind you, though it does play a big part, but also because theyāre hideous and arenāt known for quality.
That last part, is totally because of musk.
The CT, for example was what happens when he rides herd on the engineers designing it. You can see how each version of Tesla got more and more complicated and over engineered and thatās directly because of musk.
