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 to fund the Republican candidate,” Fortune reports.
Said Musk: “What’s been reported in the media is simply not true. I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.”
He added: “I don’t prescribe to a cult of personality.”

Oh. He didn’t just purchase it.
There was a lawsuit. Bought in with 6.5mil (10+ with inflation,) then sued them for the right to be called “co-founders”

Oh. My. That is somehow even worse than I thought.
Yup. before his fall, it’s best if you just assume everything you read about him is pure propaganda. because it pretty much is.
