Elon Musk says he's not donating money to Trump or Biden campaigns
Source: Axios
Elon Musk announced Wednesday that he has no intention of donating money to either President Biden or former President Trump's presidential campaigns.
Why it matters: The statement is by no means definitive since, as tweeters immediately pointed out, he could still give to a super PAC or another fund that benefits a candidate.
Musk's statement came after he allegedly met with Trump in Florida over the weekend, as he reportedly seeks a cash infusion for his campaign, the New York Times reported.
What they're saying: "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President," Musk wrote on X Wednesday.

Except it is an in kind donation.
I'm sure his lawyers will work it out.

That way he owns Trump. And can call the shots.

It doesn't help when he's so off the wall either.
