Musk Clarifies After Meeting With Trump: "I Am Not Donating To Either Candidate"

Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President

As Steve Watson detailed earlier via Modernity.news, a report in the New York Times suggests that X owner Elon Musk secretly met with Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago Sunday, with some sources close to Musk saying the world’s richest man has decided that Biden needs to be defeated in November.
The Times report intimates that Musk was part of a delegation of wealthy donors who visited Trump’s home in Florida as the former president looks to counter record fundraising by Biden’s campaign.
The report further notes that while Trump and Musk have not seen eye to eye in the past, it is possible that the Tesla CEO has decided Trump is the only realistic candidate that can defeat Biden come election time.
Both Trump and Musk’s private jets were spotted at the same airport in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 2, sparking off the rumours, which were then ‘confirmed’ by three separate sources, according to the Times.
Flew from Austin, Texas, US to West Palm Beach, Florida, US 24 hours ago.

Trump’s jet and Elon Musk’s jet have just both landed at West Palm Beach International. Within 10 minutes of each other.

Elon Musk, worth over $200 billion, could certainly single handedly provide the funding Trump needs after being dragged through courts by Democrats on what he has consistently described as a witch hunt.
Trump is believed to have raised $30 million this year so far, while Biden campaign filings show $56 million raised.
Musk has repeatedly slammed the Biden administration over mass illegal immigration, this week warning that a catastrophic event on the scale of 9/11 is likely in the works.
After it was revealed that Biden has secretly flown at least 320,000 illegal immigrants from Latin American airports to 43 U.S. cities, Musk continued his tirade Tuesday against the regime on X:
Treason indeed! Ushering in vast numbers of illegals is why Secretary Mayorkas was impeached by the House.

They are importing voters. This is why groups on the far left fight so hard to stop voter ID requirements, under the absurd guise of protecting the right to vote. https://t.co/WhtVFyS6sa
Someone should download the CBP One app and make a step by step video of this insanity.

That’s a lot of planes and a lot of airports. Amazing that they kept this secret for so long. https://t.co/THm7o5sVzy
Moreover the “Border Protection” bill would have allowed Mayorkas to place new illegals on a fast-track to US citizenship. This fact is almost never mentioned. https://t.co/qDLhMTM1cm

America will fall if it tries to absorb the world. That is why I am banging the drum so much about this issue. https://t.co/9MrkJghzx9

Musk also has beef with Biden over persistent government harassment concerning the business practices of X, Tesla and Starlink, and has said he will not vote for Biden:

While the meeting has not been verified as really taking place, MSNBC clowns suggested that Trump met with Musk because he is “afraid” of Biden.
