Reports that I am a top donor to GOP are categorically false. I am not a top donor to any political party.”

But a donor ?

Will this kill Tesla?

Musk is a Crony Crapitalist - Socialist, who puts his political money wherever he thinks it will put even more back in his pockets.

I seem to recall that Solyndra executives gave Obama and the Democrats quite a bit of money. "Campaign contributions," they called it.

The MSM had no problem with this.

Just waiting for the story that Elon used the n-word sometime in his past.

He will be joining Schnatter in the stocks.

He gave a pittance to the GOP, and they’re calling him a Nazi now.

The Left will brook no dissent, whatsoever.

I want to like him and wish for him to succeed.

But he needs to be #AmericaFirst, and not open up a Tesla plant in China as he is planning.

Musk made/makes all his money from the government. His cars, batteries, solar panels, etc., would not make him $billions without $billions of subsidies from the government.

Since liberals will throw other people’s money at anything called “green” Musk probably has to pay republicans more than he pays democrats. But any payments (donations) are just a business expense.

For a guy whose company lives on the Government and taxpayer dole, he is just greasing the skids.

This May 2015 LA Times article shows Musk getting $5 billion of government subsidies.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-20150531-story.html

With his donations to dems and repubs he's just paying back the politicians who helped make him very wealthy.

Pretty huge example, but nothing new here.
