The CEO

of TESLA, Elon Musk has said that he will not donate any amount of money to any candidate in the presidential campaign of Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

"Just to be absolutely clear, I am not giving money to any candidate for President of the United States," Musk said in a post on the X website.

Musk's tweet came a day after The New York Times reported that last weekend he met with Trump and what the newspaper called a few Republican donors, in Palm Beach, Florida, the home of the former US president.

Musk ranks second in the list of the richest people in the world, with an estimated worth of $195 billion, according to Forbes.

Musk, who also heads SpaceX, may support Trump or Biden in ways other than direct contributions to their campaigns.
