Billionaire Elon Musk is denying reports that said he is donating $45 million a month to a super PAC supporting former President Trump each month leading up to the November election.

"What's been reported in the media is simply not true," Musk said in an interview with conservative commentator Jordan Peterson. "I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump."...The Tesla and SpaceX CEO followed up on his comments by saying on Tuesday that he does plan to make donations to America PAC but at a "much lower level."...Musk said he helped create America PAC, which he said would support Trump but "is not supposed to be a sort of hyperpartisan."...

The deepfakes are getting insanely real. Avoid spontaneous reactions.

Spontaneous reactions are the norm.... Immediate conspiracy theory speculation based on heresay is rampant.

Considering how long it took for him to respond, I suspect he got some ‘advice’ to NOT donate $45M a month, from some people one should listen to.

I thought it was a onetime donation. Lots of fake news being generated.

Musk is moving his CA Space X operation to Texas. I suspect he is adjusting his expenditures to help with the move.

I’m confident he is a very strong supporter of Trump.

He has been very open about that on X.

The assassination attempt and being shot is NOT Conspiracy theory. Both happened. And MSM, FIB, DOJ, DHS, CIA and State Department are all still trying to destroy the USA.

Globalist Pukes.

“Musk is moving his CA Space X operation to Texas. I suspect he is adjusting his expenditures to help with the move.”

___________________________________________________________

Musk isn’t moving the SpaceX operation at all. He’s only moving his X headquarters from San Francisco to Austin. The factory, engineers, and logistics of SpaceX remain in California.

Where in the F’ do you get Trump’s assassination attempt and being shot out of my post on the article in question i.e. “Elon Musk pushes back on reports that he’s donating $45M a month to super PAC backing Trump” in which my post states:

Spontaneous reactions are the norm.... Immediate conspiracy theory speculation based on hearsay is rampant.

You got some serious issues if that’s your take away.

I’ve not read the Fox article about a PAC.

The following is directly from X. I do know someone who works there.


ABC7 News @abc7newsbayarea (Jul 16, 2024)
Billionaire @elonmusk
says he’s moving the headquarters of SpaceX and social media company X to Texas from California. https://abc7ne.ws/4d2UZ2F

Dea Riley @DeaRileyKY (Jul 16, 2024)
Today Elon Musk announced he would move Space X to Texas because CA Governor Gavin Newsome signed into law AB1955 today which bans schools from making rules requiring parental notification if a child identifies as transgender.

Many will follow

Get your children out of public schools.

SPACE X FILES TO RELOCATE TO TEXAS AFTER ELON MUSK’S SPAT WITH DELAWARE OVER PAY PACKAGE:

SpaceX wants to move its business incorporation location from Delaware to Texas, according to a Wednesday filing to the Texas Secretary of State.

The move by the Elon Musk-owned company comes after a Delaware state judge struck down Musk’s 2018 Tesla pay package, siding with a shareholder who had challenged it as excessive.

Delaware is traditionally where many of the United States’ biggest businesses are incorporated for legal and tax purposes. It is seen as a desirable place to seek approval for mergers and litigate disputes and doesn’t levy sales tax or tax on profits from intellectual property.

The move follows a Delaware judge’s decision to void CEO Elon Musk a $55 billion Tesla pay package.

Musk already relocated Neuralink from Delaware to Nevada.

“SpaceX has moved its state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas!” Musk posted on X Wednesday. “If your company is still incorporated in Delaware, I recommend moving to another state as soon as possible.”

“Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware,” Musk posted on X in January. “I recommend incorporating in Nevada or Texas if you prefer shareholders to decide matters,” he said in another tweet.

After the pay package ruling, Musk said he is seeking shareholder approval to incorporate Tesla, another company that he leads, in Texas.

Musk had previously put up a poll on X asking if Tesla (TSLA) should move its registration from Delaware to Texas, where it is already headquartered. Hours later, the Tesla CEO wrote that the “public vote is unequivocally in favor of Texas.” The poll results showed Texas had won the backing of more than 87% of about 1.1 million votes.

The post was a Fox News Article, the comment was in relation to post on the article.

I don’t give a f—k who works at X and York Post is irrelevant as far as what you said to me.

Get your shxt together or don’t reply.
