WSJ tracks Musk's political spending, ties to America First and Stephen Miller, etc. He is in fact "one of the biggest donors to conservative causes, which in combination with his large social-media following makes him one of the most influential figures in US politics." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Republican consultants and lawyers helped keep Musk’s fingerprints off the transactions. He used a limited-liability company to send money to groups that are known for the section of Internal Revenue Service code they fall under: 501(c)(4). Sometimes called “social welfare organizations,” or “dark money” groups, they are exempt from disclosing donors and can raise unlimited amounts of money from people and companies.

They are required to report grants they make, allowing The Wall Street Journal to track money through a series of such groups that people familiar with the matter said was Musk’s. When discussing Musk’s contributions to Citizens for Sanity, people involved in the transactions often communicated on the encrypted messaging app Signal, one of those people said.

Musk >>> Trump & billionaires >>> Putin & oligarchs >>> Netanyahu & zionists They own the WSJ and all the rest, doesn't matter what they publish, it is not even close to how things work in real life.

Had this been known at the time, wonder how it might have affected the perceptions and scrutiny around his purchase of Twitter

"The following year, Musk gave $10 million in support of DeSantis as he ran for president, people familiar with his donation said." 💰🔥

Once again in the words of Matt Christman, “every kid with a Stalin poster who called his parents a CIA op because they wouldn’t buy him a mosin nagant for Christmas” was more correct about Musk than every ivy league media asshole with a sophisticated analysis of Musk as “the real life Tony Stark”
