Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, attended a fundraiser retreat in Wyoming that was hosted by Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy, Fox News has learned.
The event was held at a resort in Teton Village, near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and happened on the same day Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney lost a primary election to Trump-backed Republican nominee Harriet Hageman.
A source told Fox News that McCarthy and Musk led a fireside chat with supporters, House members and Republican candidates.
The event was closed to the press.

The National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising event was hosted "practically in Cheney's backyard," Business Insider reported.
The event comes as Musk has embraced the Republican Party in recent months and has become more politically vocal over Twitter. Musk is currently embroiled in a legal battle over his $44 billion deal to purchase the social media giant.
Publicly, McCarthy refused to confirm or deny Musk’s attendance at the event. The Republican leader clarified that the event was open for "members, donors and candidates."
Musk and McCarthy share a unique relationship as SpaceX conducts operations in Bakersfield, California, which falls within the district McCarthy represents.

Oh for Gawds sake. WTH is wrong with you?
He is a people too stuff. Good grief . You are worse than my neurotic neighbor.
To many people anymore, a person is either all bad or all good. Any criticism is not allowed. The idea that even good people have some bad qualities and vice versa is not considered.
Truth is Musk doesn’t care what I think and I don’t care what he thinks unless he wants to rule over me or influence those who rule over me.
Hah hah, You call that “incoming fire”?
You don’t have neurotic neighbors because other neurotic people don’t want to live by you and compete over who is nuttier. You might win that one hands down though.
I agree, jokes can be missiles and I was right over the target and exposed your hidden Musk-rat Love.
Top of the mornin’ to you.
THERE'S a real loser for you! How did she get ANY votes at all?
I mean .... what she did to her constituents is the political equivalent of ‘date rape’!!!!!!!!!!
Have you cared what the Koch brothers, Peter Thiel, and other designated “GOP” billionaire funders think—and do?
Yes, but we aren’t talking about them on this thread, are we?
Tennessee dodged one, there...
As all of these should be. The media is corrupt and they had better screen attendees as well.
Yes.
I’m no fan of McCarthy, but holding a fundraiser in Wyoming the same day that Cheney loses there is HYSTERICAL!!!
It would have been better if it was held adjacent and within sight of her Lincoln speech.
Tetons ? I’m sure he noticed hers.
“It would have been better if it was held adjacent and within sight of her Lincoln speech.”
True, but close enough for me. And I do think he did it in the same town (Jackson Hole).
Maybe you are not especially good at pattern recognition...
Likely true
I hear he told the Republicans to be nicer more compassionate. What the hell? Who is warring against us and throwing accusations. Telling their people to get into our faces protest Supreme Court justices, bailing out antifa who are burning down cities, BLM raiding stores and stealing everything insight with a slap on the wrist and bail money when caught.... And for no reason at all only because of pure hatred raiding a president’s home! Compassionate? ...compassionate? We don’t need no stinking compassionate when you’re in the thick of a war! Get real you POS! And get the hell out of our party! SO put down the crack pipe Mr. musk step back and go screw yourself!!
