That's Bull... Musk himself has already stated this is false

Something Elon doesn’t do much, he pulled out of Trump. 😂

You see just how flexible and thus insincere MAGA Republicans' beliefs are when you have *always* complained about electric vehicles, but the *moment* Elon Musk supports your cult-leader, the electric vehicle is suddenly awesome.
I work in the energy transition so I'm glad you finally turned to the right side of common sense but it is really inconsistent.

Go back and listen to the Trump/Howard Stern interview. That's all you need to know about Trump.

But he backed out of this promise? Won't donate to 'a cult of personality'?

[kunalnichani]

Did he say just 45 million not 45 billion?

[homeandbackyard]

I could be wrong but it seems that the billionaires have lost their shame and want to go straight to the pot.

Elon said its lies. I don’t think it’s Elon that’s giving him that money ? Strange. When did Elon say this, in the today’s post of interview with Jordan Peterson.
