Trump bragged about Musk’s contributions at a rally over the weekend. Now, the Tesla CEO says, “I'm not donating $45 million a month to Trump.”
that “Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month” to the pro-Trump super PAC, citing “people familiar with the matter.” Musk, the world’s richest man, rejected the
“What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,” Musk said. “I’m not donating $45 million a month to Trump. What I have done is I have created a PAC, or super PAC, whatever you want to call it. I simply call it the America PAC.”“I love Elon Musk,” Trump said, telling the crowd: “Elon endorsed me the other day. I read — I didn’t even know this. He did not tell me about it. He gives me $45 million a month. Not $45 million — he gives me $45 million a month.
Musk, who is worth an estimated $250 billion, said Monday he’s chosen to fund the Super PAC because he can give more money that way. “You can donate money directly to candidates — that amount is fairly small,” he said. “You can donate a lot more money to … a super PAC. There are various rules that govern the operation of PACs and super PACs, but it certainly allows for a lot more money in the system than would otherwise be possible.
He said that America PAC is “not meant to be sort of a hyper-partisan PAC,” and that his “intent is to promote the principles that made America great in the first place.” He continued: “I wouldn’t say that I’m, for example, MAGA, or Make America Great Again. I think America is great. I’m more M-A-G, Make America Greater.
