Headline incorrect and misleading. He’s still donating to his new pro-Trump PAC rather than Trump directly, which is what the original WSJ article said anyways. Whoever wrote this article should be fired for regurgitating Musk’s spin without fact checking.

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Tbf, that’s sorta what Fortune exists to do: regurgitate whatever billionaires and their PR reps say without fact checking.

Can’t fire a worker for upholding the raison d’etre of the publication 🤷

Journalists are now more similar to the police, just regime lapdogs doing regime bidding while pretending to be for the people lol

ImpressiveEssay ,

Not all of em.

MotoAsh ,

Those aren’t journalists. They are doing no journalism. Stop slandering a wonderful and necessary profession just because propagandists exist.

sunzu ,

Are these "good" journalists in the room with us right now?

MotoAsh , (edited )

I wish there were enough good journalists, but the fact you diss journalism goes to show you are too stupid for a discussion on how Fox et. al. have not hired actual journalists in years upon years.

Grow a brain and realize punditry is NOT journalism.

sunzu ,

Is new York times journalism?

MotoAsh ,

No, they’re an outlet. Journalism is the thing the writers are supposed to do before writing articles that aren’t thinly veiled opinion pieces.

sunzu ,

No money in that sort of thing anymore

iAmTheTot ,

Why are you sharing it if you felt acknowledge that it’s billionaire propoganda?

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Because the headline is like something out of The Onion and I figured that the good people (and others) of “nottheonion” would appreciate that 🤷

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.

What a bullshit headline. It’s literally the first line of the article.

So he is spending money to fund Trump. He’s just going through a super PAC because he can’t legally straight up give Trump 45 million.

He probably talked to his lawyers and they told him to correct himself.

doesn’t subscribe to cult of personality

How much are blue check marks again?

Viking_Hippie OP ,

One soul, I think?

Might’ve risen since I left, though 🤷

Zipitydew ,

Bullshit. I subscribe to the idea he’s funneling money through the PAC back to Twitter to boost ad buy numbers.

multicolorKnight ,
  1. Musk pledges enormous amount to Trump
  2. TSLA drops 10% immediately
  3. "I don’t subscribe to the cult of personality" No, you subscribe to the cult of money.

He doesn’t subscribe to cults of personality… Unless it’s his cult and his personality.

GluWu ,

This elon musk guy, very rich, very powerful, most people say very smart. But he’s not. His cult has become very weak, one of the weakest cults in the history of the united States, I’ve never seen such a weak cult in my life. Cult members that are so afraid of sharks, I’ve never met people so afraid of little sharks that they would rather electrocute themselves on their woke electric boats.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Lmao he is such a blatant chode

Translation: he’s going to lose and I’m not going down with that idiot

“One of those values being meritocracy, as much meritocracy as possible, so you get ahead as a function of your skill, and nothing else,” Musk said.

😂😂😂

If this was a true meritocracy, Musk would be penniless.

So I guess the oil industry is giving Trump more, so he isn’t backing down from his anti-electric stance.

Gotta give more than that to buy Trump Muskie Boy!

sunzu ,

Nepo baby circle jerk

I was in a Portland ska band by that name. We were insufferable.

Diplomjodler3 ,

So he doesn’t want to throw good money after bad?

Viking_Hippie OP ,

Doesn’t sound like the Musk we know and loathe…
