That’s a nice dodge, but the actual fact is that he’s donated to both sides this midterm. @FiveThirtyEight #FactsMatter
It is not misleading. @elonmusk's donation was on June 5, 2018, and it hasn't been processed yet by the FEC. That's why it doesn't show up in the OpenSecrets link you used. See attached screenshots of the raw data. https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1018169759605682177 …pic.twitter.com/liznTf2Mg6

It's not a dodge. He gives more to the Right and some to the Center. When someone donates to parties with allegedly conflicting ideologies, why do you think they're doing it? If your answer isn't "so they both know not to fuck with me", you're wrong.

You know what that raw data also says: Founder SpaceX He designs and builds rockets, that deliver shit TO SPACE! And he’s the Founder and Designer of TESLA. The guys is - LITERALLY -changing the world... for the better. So eat a turd, you asshats!

You can’t accomplish things of this magnitude without the assistance of politicians. This is how you get it. You contribute to the people you believe can help you bring your vision to life. It’s the reality of big business and politics. He knows what he wants and makes it happen.
-
He runs an electric car company because he thinks climate change is the biggest threat to our continued civilization. Why would he then donate to the party that denies climate change is even an issue?
-
Maybe because he realizes the pendulum will swing as it always does. In the mean time he can get work going in the right direction. It doesn't matter who holds office, if you have a huge business and dont have access, you will get f***ed. Its a racket.

I’m not even sure the timing matters for the broader point... “Sure he supports some bad guys, but did you know he also supports other somewhat less bad guys?”
-
Which ones does he support? Are all Republicans bad guys?
-
People who say yes are as much of a problem as the hard line conservatives. Truth is, the mega wealthy want you to D’s to hate R’s, just like they want whites to hate minorities. Keeps all the attention off them. STOP FALLING FOR IT!

Name a good republican.

What is supposed to be "misleading"? Elon Musk donates to charities, civil rights groups, and political campaigns just like anyone else. He even donates to different parties. Wow breaking news.

What about his donations to the ACLU?
-
That Elon Musk donated to the organization that made the Unite the Right rally possible by providing them with free legal counsel is Bad, Actually.
-
Yeah, ACLU can be summed up by that one thing which isn’t nuanced at all. Stay woke.
-
It’s not about woke, it’s about providing a responsible level of context
-
Right, like the context that the guy who's given a hundred thousand dollars to the Republicans this election cycle alone also gives money to the lawyers the Nazis use.
-
That’s one part of it. Definitely
-
FWIW, a couple of months ago ACLU changed their policy on supporting freedom of speech for hate groups.
-
This isn't true. They literally posted a lengthy screed to their website less than a month ago saying they didn't change their policy and that anyone who says they did are lying. In it, they bragged about their ongoing work in defending a well-known Nazi.https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/aclus-longstanding-commitment-defending-speech-we-hate …
