Elon Musk backs down from $45 million a month pledge to Trump, says he doesn’t ‘subscribe to cult of personality’
But, Trump demonstrated “great courage” after being shot on July 13, the CEO added.

Uh and what has changed for the muskrat to suddenly grow a smidge of conscious? That trump may loose and he won't be reimbursed by the orange president?
Trump? Reimburse?
Wait….. what?
Maybe the wrong word. I mean in the sense that Elon thought of getting something more out of his 45 mil a month to trump once the latter became again president.
The aid money for Ukraine. Or from selling government secrets.
Not Trump may lose. is going to lose.
This is going to be seen as the political equivalent of the 2017 patriots 28-3 come from behind win against the Falcons. Momentum has shifted, women now have an actual woman to vote for, and whoever the VP pick is, will seal the deal.
Border issue:
Republicans killed a bill that would have fixed it
Abortion and IVF:
Republicans are against both things which 80% of America are for.
Honest to goodness Nazi playbook in Project 2025:
Who the fuck would vote for that shit if the democrats actively show the public what's in it?
Old as dirt candidate:
That's the Orange Shit-Stain on the right.
I agree, but...
Did you mean IDF or IVF?
IVF lol.
was watching the news at the time and the Gaza war was on.
Sadly, the average American are pretty supportive of the IDF
damn, I am really not into that sport or anything, but that asswhippin that the falcons toted around after that was rough on anyone in the metro area.
As an Atlantan, ouch. Great analogy but ouch.
Sorry 'bout that, lol. I felt for you guys. As a Packer fan in the northeast, I was pulling for them.
NFC for life, son.
Except the Bears. They can fuck right off.
Tesla profits are way down. He might simply be unable to afford it. Simplest explanations and all.
I don’t know if this is the actual reason, but it’s damn pleasant to think about.

Like everything else in that world it's really fucking complicated. He didn't get a check for $53 billion. He got a huge chunk of Tesla. First, I don't know of he gets it all at once, but second, even if he does it takes something like 6 months before he's allowed to sell it or use it as collateral due to being leadership at Tesla. Also the value is falling, so by the time he gets to sell it, it'll be worth less than today.
Also, I think this guy (or at least his companies) has monthly bills in the hundreds of millions between all his failing companies - boring company, starlink, Twitter. All of them are losing money. But what his personal finances look like I really can't know.
Caveat: this is my understanding pieced together from a bunch of sources I consider reliable, and upon which I relied for my earlier comment. I'm not an encyclopedia and could be wrong about some things.
Maybe the Tesla board finally explained to him that Trump voters don’t buy their products.
Uh and what has changed for the muskrat to suddenly grow a smidge of conscious?
It's best to really doubt what Musk says. Likely he's still giving money but using weasel words to pretend he's not because of the fallout.
There's no smidge of conscience, this is merely self preservation after he became aware that he was drawing too much attention to it.
