Elon Musk has assured his more than 175 million followers that he’s not donating money to Donald Trump or Joe Biden. Instead, the billionaire is making something of an in-kind contribution to the former with his relentless posting on X.

In just the last few days, Musk has baselessly speculated that Biden took Adderall to deliver a livelier State of the Union address and badgered House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about border legislation. He repeatedly claimed Democrats are lax on immigration as part of a plot to boost their electoral prospects and revisited a year-old wisecrack that his pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.
