Former President Donald Trump met on Sunday with Elon Musk and other possible donors, according to multiple published reports Tuesday, citing unnamed sources.
Trump hopes to have a one-on-one meeting with Musk soon, and it’s not yet clear whether Musk plans to give money to the former president’s 2024 White House campaign, a New York Times report said.
Musk, one of the world’s richest people, is the chief executive of Tesla Inc.
TSLA,
and SpaceX, as well as the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter. He has been at odds with the Biden administration at times, and the billionaire entrepreneur said in 2022 that he had voted Republican for the first time ever.
Trump and President Joe Biden on Tuesday night were notching wins in the Super Tuesday primaries and moving closer to a rematch in November’s general election.
Neither Tesla nor the Trump campaign immediately responded to requests for comment.
