Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on March 6 that he won’t donate any money to candidates in the 2024 presidential election, including former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden, following reports that Mr. Musk has visited President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and held discussions there.

Mr. Musk met with the former president last weekend along with other Republican donors, although few details were provided, according to reports that cited people who weren’t identified. The reports claimed that the former president was seeking donations because of low cash reserves.
