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 to fund the Republican candidate,” Fortune reports.

Said Musk: “What’s been reported in the media is simply not true. I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.”

He added: “I don’t prescribe to a cult of personality.”

    Oh. He didn’t just purchase it.

    There was a lawsuit. Bought in with 6.5mil (10+ with inflation,) then sued them for the right to be called “co-founders”

    Edit: whoever his PR team was before he fired them; they were insanely good. That’s when people started realizing how awful he was.

        Yup. before his fall, it’s best if you just assume everything you read about him is pure propaganda. because it pretty much is.
