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€
