Details
Elon Musk has denied reports that he plans to spend $45 million a month on a super political action committee supporting Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
“What's being reported in the media is simply not true.... I don't donate $45 million a month to Trump,” Musk said in an interview.
Speculation about the causes
Many are wondering what made the Tesla CEO change his mind.
Among them:
Personality instability?
The arrival of Kamala Harris to replace Joe Biden?
Or was it a political strategy for Trump to announce that once elected, he intends to impose tariffs on cars made in Mexico, on the very days when tycoon Musk invested in the Mexican auto industry?
Musk said he was attracted to the Republican candidate because he felt the Republican Party was more in line with his views on issues such as meritocracy and liberty.
One of those values is meritocracy, as much meritocracy as possible, so you advance based on your skills and nothing else
The X owner hopes that Trump will bring as much freedom from government intervention as possible. In addition, Musk emphasized that his political thinking is not the same as Donald Trump's “Make America Great Again” but rather “MAG” - Make America Great.
