    Headline incorrect and misleading. He’s still donating to his new pro-Trump PAC rather than Trump directly, which is what the original WSJ article said anyways. Whoever wrote this article should be fired for regurgitating Musk’s spin without fact checking.

      Tbf, that’s sorta what Fortune exists to do: regurgitate whatever billionaires and their PR reps say without fact checking.

      Can’t fire a worker for upholding the raison d’etre of the publication 🤷

          Because the headline is like something out of The Onion and I figured that the good people (and others) of “nottheonion” would appreciate that 🤷

        Completely agreed. There is very little in the way of actual journalism there, it’s really an industry rag.

        Journalists are now more similar to the police, just regime lapdogs doing regime bidding while pretending to be for the people lol
