Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, one of the wealthiest men in the world, said on Wednesday that he would not donate to either President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump after meeting with Trump earlier this week.
Musk, who owns Tesla, SpaceX, and social media platform X, has harshly criticized the Biden administration in recent months, especially over the president’s handling of the illegal immigration crisis affecting cities across the nation. According to The New York Times, which cited three sources familiar with the matter, Trump met with Musk on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida, as the former president’s campaign seeks to shore up support and financing for what promises to be a brutal general election campaign.
While the Times report didn’t detail what Trump and Musk discussed in their meeting, the billionaire took to X on Wednesday morning to clarify where he stands on his involvement in the run-up to the 2024 election.
“Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” Musk wrote.
