Donald Trump Thanks Elon Musk For Giving Him Staggering ‘$45 Million A Month’

Donald Trump took a moment out of his Michigan campaign rally on Saturday, the first since his assassination attempt, to praise tech billionaire Elon Musk — one week after Musk endorsed Trump and amid reports that Musk created a super PAC to pledge a staggering $45 million a month to the Trump campaign.

“But Elon endorsed me the other day, and I read ― I didn’t even know this ― he didn’t even tell me about it, but he gives me 45 million dollars a month,” Trump said. “A month! Not 45 million — gives me 45 million a month!”

The new PAC is led in part by Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale and is supported by the Winklevoss twins, billionaire venture capitalist Doug Leone and tech founder John Hering, The New York Times first reported Monday .

On Thursday, Musk, the world’s richest person , downplayed his financial support of the Trump campaign.

“I have not pledged anything to anyone!” Musk wrote on X. “I did create a PAC that is focused on supporting candidates who favor a meritocracy and personal freedom, but funding to date has been far below that level.”
