So here’s what happened: the WSJ reported with zero corroboration that Elon Musk was donating $45 million a month to Trump through America PAC—a claim that Musk immediately shot down as “fake gnus” (fake news).
Fast forward to his interview with Jordan Peterson where he explicitly denies the report and what does the media do? They treat the original report as accurate and double down by falsely claiming that Musk is “backing down” from the donations.
