<p>Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk shot back at reports that he&#8217;s donating $45 million each month to boost former President Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign, telling Dr. Jordan B. Peterson in a live <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/dr-peterson-x-elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DailyWire+ interview</a> earlier this week that media&#8217;s reporting &#8220;is simply not true.&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk, who supported Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, &#8220;fully&#8221; endorsed Trump shortly after the former president was shot in the right ear by a 20-year-old gunman&#8217;s bullet at a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania on July 13. The billionaire entrepreneur has become increasingly critical of the Democratic Party and what he calls the Left&#8217;s support of the &#8220;woke mind virus.&#8221;</p>
<p>After Musk endorsed Trump, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/elon-musk-has-said-he-is-committing-around-45-million-a-month-to-a-new-pro-trump-super-pac-dda53823" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Musk would be donating $45 million a month to his newly formed America PAC to help elect Trump in November. Trump commented on Musk&#8217;s reported donations during his rally on Saturday, saying, &#8220;He didn&#8217;t even tell me about it,&#8221; Fox Business <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/elon-musk-pushes-back-reports-hes-donating-45m-month-super-pac-backing-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. In his interview with Peterson on Monday and in a social media post on Tuesday, however, Musk denied that he was donating the massive monthly sum to support Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s been reported in the media is simply not true. I&#8217;m not donating $45 million a month to Trump,&#8221; Musk told Peterson. &#8220;What I have done is created a PAC [political action committee] or Super PAC &#8230; the America PAC.&#8221;</p>
<p>Later in the interview, Musk distanced himself from Trump&#8217;s campaign slogan, &#8220;Make America Great Again,&#8221; saying &#8220;the intent&#8221; of his America PAC &#8220;is to promote the principles that made America great in the first place.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So I wouldn&#8217;t say that I&#8217;m &#8230; MAGA, &#8216;Make America Great Again,&#8217; I think America is great,&#8221; Musk added. &#8220;I&#8217;m more MAG &#8211; &#8216;Make America Greater.&#8217;”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

On Tuesday, Musk followed up by responding to a tweet, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1815911188024225967" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling</a> the media&#8217;s reporting of his political donations &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am making some donations to America PAC, but at a much lower level and the key values of the PAC are supporting a meritocracy &amp; individual freedom,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Republicans are mostly, but not entirely, on the side of merit &amp; freedom.&#8221;</p>
