Elon Musk said of the US Presidential Election, “Not donating…”
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, said on Wednesday that he would not be making any financial contributions to any US presidential contender. “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” Musk said in a post on X.
Notably, Musk allegedly visited former US President Donald Trump in Florida two days before to publishing his article.
Three persons informed on the discussion who spoke on condition of anonymity told the New York Times that the billionaire and a few rich Republican contributors met with Donald Trump on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida, to address a private subject.
Musk’s comments on social media have not received a response from Trump’s staff yet. Like many other corporate giants, Musk has donated to both Democrats and Republicans in the past.
Unlike other American billionaires, he has not made large political donations, and throughout the years, he has split his contributions about evenly between Democrats and Republicans, according to the New York Times. Recent events in the US Presidential election include Republican contender Nikki Haley’s official announcement on Wednesday that her campaign would be ending.
“It is now appropriate for me to put my campaign on hold. I expressed my desire for Americans to be heard. That’s what I’ve done. “I have no regrets,” she said in South Carolina on Wednesday.
“I will continue to use my voice for the causes I believe in, even though I will no longer be a candidate,” she said from Charleston, South Carolina.
During her decision to stop her presidential campaign, Nikki Haley thanked former President Donald Trump but did not offer her endorsement.
“When our party convenes in July, Donald Trump is almost certain to be the Republican candidate. I give him my congratulations and best wishes. I hope the next president of the United States of America is healthy. “Our nation is too valuable to allow our disagreements to separate us,” said Haley.
Haley went on, “It is now on upon Donald Trump to win over the votes of those inside and outside of our party who did not endorse him. And I’m hoping he acts on it.”
The story claims that Haley was the only candidate challenging outgoing President Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary. Although he easily won 14 of the 15 GOP races on Super Tuesday, her triumph in Vermont prevented a potential clean sweep.
Haley only secured 43 Republican delegates during Super Tuesday’s Republican primary, while Trump secured 764.
President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump, meantime, advanced toward their parties’ nominations and set up a rematch for the White House in November after winning sizable delegations in Texas, California, and other states on Super Tuesday.
