Elon Musk said he intends to fund moderate challengers in Democratic primary races, with his pledge coming in response to criticism from a Democrat lawmaker that the tech mogul is using his massive reach on social media to have an outsized influence on American politics.

Musk has been using X, the social media platform that he owns, to voice his opinions on federal programs, policies, and legislation that he opposes.
