Elon Musk, who has expressed concern about climate change, called for carbon taxes to reduce the use of fossil fuel and advocated for a Universal Basic Income has been revealed to be one of the single biggest donors to the GOP’s Protect the House PAC created to perpetuate the rule of a political party that is dedicated to thwarting those very positions.
“Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been revealed as a top donor to a Republican PAC aimed at keeping control of Congress. Filings published by ProPublica this weekend show Musk contributed $38,900 to the Protect the House PAC, joining the likes of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and Houston Texans owner Robert McNair in the PAC’s top 50 donors. The PAC raised more than $8 million in the second quarter for Republican lawmakers hoping to fend off Democratic challengers. Musk’s contributions to the Republican Party raised eyebrows on Twitter, where many questioned how the “socially liberal” billionaire vowing to fight climate change could support the GOP’s platform.”
Christ, Elon, I never figured you to be with the knuckle-draggers.
