Elon Musk denies reported $45 million a month pledge to Trump, says he doesn't 'subscribe to cult of personality’

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.”

“Sir if you go full MAGA the liberals won’t buy your cars any more.”

(Though he can still donate all this money to PACs I’m sure and no one will know so by saying this he’s probably just trying to save face and stuff give money to the shit heads.)

Did his lawyer call him and demand he clarify his comments?

Wasn’t musk the one who tweeted this? Why is he lying saying that media reported something that is not true when the source was himself?

It’s a Good Thing Republicans and Muskets do their Own Research! Otherwise they might have thought Elon Musk was donating $45MILLION a Month to Trump when Elon Musk said he was donating $45MILLION a Month to Trump!

Just like every other one of elon’s promises.

I think it’s funny that benzo psychologist who’s afraid of pronouns is still relevant.

Oddly, not 10 mins before seeing this post I was having to convince someone that anyone espousing Jordan B Peterson probably isn’t reading the political climate from a reasonable vantage point.

I must call a doctor because I have a boner that’s been lasting way more than 4 hours and it just keeps getting harder with every new headline I read.

Kamala works no? Now if she’d go with Bernie’s pro-worker agenda, I’d cum and go to sleep in peace.

I’m expecting a continuation of the same neoliberal nonsense but one can dream.

Wait now, Joe did break with the neolibs on spending and workers rights. Not as hard as needed of course. But nevertheless he followed Kelton’s advice on spending and strengthened labor including the NLRB. Now I’m not saying neoliberalism ended under Biden but I think it’s important to acknowledge the breaks from the norm. 🥹

But to your point I’m afraid she or whoever ends up replacing Joe would revert back even on these points to standard neoliberalism. I hope it doesn’t happen of course. The UAW smackdown was too boner-worthy. It has to happen again.

Well that tracks. Cult leaders don’t really like to acknowledge other cults.

I’m sorry what? Is he using the distinction between donating to a PAC and a candidate as cover? 🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

“It’s not for Trump, that’s a lie… It was for the PAC I made”

This is fucking hilarious. Thanks for confirming.

That’s crazy, why would he even try something so transparent. What happened when the journalist followed up with that obvious clarifying ques-

conservative commentator Jordan Peterson

-oh. Nevermind.
