Elon Musk backs down from $45M a month pledge to Trump

  • Is anyone actually surprised by this? The guy is full of crap so unless a court orders him to do it he’s not gonna spend a dime and he never planned on it

  • > “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.

    Wow.

  • Actual title of the article:

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

    From the article:

    > “What’s been reported in the media is simply not true,” Musk said. “I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.”

    > The Wall Street Journal first reported on the claim, citing sources “familiar with the matter.” The outlet has not yet issued a retraction or follow-up article altering its reporting.

    For those interested in honesty.
