Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a major benefactor to President Donald Trump in last year’s election, said Tuesday that he will do “a lot less” political spending moving forward.
Speaking with Bloomberg at the Qatar Economic Forum, Musk, who spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars on a super PAC set up last year to primarily help Trump, sounded ambivalent about making such commitments in the cycles to come.
“I think in terms of political spending, I’m going to do a lot less in the future,” Musk said, adding, “I think I’ve done enough.”
