Elon Musk Calls WSJ Report Fake

Elon Musk, in reply to WSJ’s pro-Trump donation report on X, posted an image that read “FAKE GNUS.” This indicated that the American entrepreneur denied any such plans to offer aid to political groups.

Meanwhile, another report by Bloomberg in the aftermath of the assassination attempt claimed Musk to be in plans to donate $45 million a month to the abovementioned PAC. Nonetheless, Musk has strongly denied these allegations.

Moreover, a post by the entrepreneur’s social media app’s news account, X News Daily, further reaffirmed that Musk did not commit any donations. As a result, it drew attention to the nation’s campaign finance laws. The laws mandate political groups to reveal their list of donors publicly. “So if Elon is infact donating it will be made public in due course,” the post added.
