WASHINGTON, DC: One day after visiting Trump in Florida, billionaire Elon Musk announced on Wednesday, March 6, that he will not be financially supporting either President Biden or Republican contender Donald Trump in this year's election.

Looking for a significant financial boost for his campaign, Trump met over the weekend in Florida with one of the richest men on the planet, Elon Musk, and a select number of other people, a source told Reuters.

Elon Musk makes it clear he is not supporting any presidential candidate

Musk posted on his official X account, "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President."



 

Musk urged voters to choose a Republican-controlled Congress in the 2022 midterm elections to offset Biden's Democratic majority. Even though non-citizens of the US are ineligible to vote in federal elections, he said on X that Biden is enticing immigrants to enter the country for them to cast Democratic ballots.



 

Trump is trying to secure more significant donors for his presidential campaign after his wealth suffered recently due to rulings against him in a defamation lawsuit and a civil fraud case in New York.

Nikki Haley withdrew her longshot challenge to Trump earlier on Wednesday, guaranteeing that he will be the Republican Party's nominee when he faces Biden again in November.

After winning both of their Super Tuesday contests, Donald Trump has issued a challenge to Joe Biden to take part in televised debates. As the rivals are rapidly approaching a rematch for the White House, Trump was described as "thirsty for attention and struggling to expand his appeal" by Biden's campaign.

Instead of indicating whether Biden would take part in a debate against Trump, the president's campaign advised the Republican to watch his State of the Union speech to Congress on Thursday night.

Internet slams Musk as he says he is not supporting any candidate

People on the Internet took a jibe at Elon Musk as he stated he is not supporting any presidential candidate. A user on X wrote, "He was just There at Donald Trump's Golden Emporium. He Wasn't There To Play Golf," while another added, "He already donated $44B."



 



 

A user wrote, "So he isn’t personally donating to a candidate. Is he donating to super pac’s or special interest groups? Are any of his companies donating?" Someone else noted, "However, any donation he makes will be anonymous."



 



 

"He's done enough for Trump's campaign already if we're being honest!" a user offered.
