Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has denied reports that he is donating $45 million a month to support former President Donald Trump's campaign. Musk clarified his position during an interview with Jordan Peterson on July 23, 2024. He stated that what has been reported in the media is not true and that he is not donating such a large sum of money to Trump.
Despite this denial, Musk still supports Trump's campaign and expressed admiration for the former president's display of courage after being shot at a Pennsylvania rally. Musk had previously endorsed Trump following the shooting incident.
Musk created a political action committee (PAC) named America PAC to promote principles that made America great in the first place. The PAC aims to support meritocracy and individual freedom, values that Musk believes are important for the country.

Musk has been shifting towards right-wing politics and has criticized both President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. He attacked Vice President Kamala Harris in particular, following her announcement as the Democrats' presidential candidate.

The author reports Musk's denial of donating $45 million per month to Trump and provides a quote from Musk stating 'What’s being reported in the media is not true. I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.' This directly contradicts any assertion that Musk has made such a donation, making it an example of False Statement or Misrepresentation fallacy. However, the author also reports that Musk created a PAC called America PAC and plans to start his donations in July. The lack of evidence presented in the article showing Musk actually donating $45 million per month to Trump's campaign makes it important to note that this is an allegation being reported, not a fact. Therefore, while there is a potential for misrepresentation or false statement fallacy based on the media reports, without concrete evidence of such a donation from Musk himself, the score remains high.
What’s being reported in the media is not true. I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump.
