Edit: Never mind. They’re counting Musk’s personal donations against spacex. See reply.

SpaceX donated $265M to Trump last year:

It sounds like that’s comparable to their total profit for the year, and it would cover the liens 100 fold.

I wonder how much of that cash was taxpayer money that got laundered and used for Trump’s personal finances.

$280,475,260 of total contributions was from individuals. AKA Elon Musk.

Thanks for correcting me.

The page I linked is confusing. (Why attribute it to SpaceX, but not X or Tesla?)

When you disclose this stuff, you have to list your occupation/employer, and Elon said he was CEO of SpaceX every time he funded his PAC.
