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.”

    He doesn’t actually deny giving the money to his PAC though… He just says it’s a lie that he’s giving it to Trump

      It’s all just weasel talk. He’s still donating $45 mil/per month [unspecified amount] to the Republican Party, but probably realised he’d be in legal trouble for doubling down on what he literally said on his own platform.
