Elon MuskĀ is notĀ spending $45 million a month to elect former President Donald Trump, though he has created a new super political action committee (PAC) to fund the Republican candidate, the billionaireĀ toldĀ conservative commentator Jordan Peterson during an interview Monday evening.

During the interview, which was hosted on Muskā€™s platform,Ā X, Peterson asked Musk if he had ā€œshockedā€ himself by donating a substantial amount of money to Trumpā€™s campaign. Musk ā€“ who has previously criticized Trump, calling him a ā€œbullĀ in a china shopā€ ā€“ paused to correct the ā€œmedia.ā€

ā€œWhatā€™s been reported in the media is simply not true,ā€ Musk said. ā€œI am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.ā€

    Nah, the word salad decryption is Iā€™m giving 45 mil/ month to a PAC that just so happens to be giving their money to Donald Trump. Yeah, I founded the PAC, what of it. Iā€™m not giving him that, Iā€™m giving the PAC it. No campaign finance laws were broken wink wink.
