Workforce Donations: Musk's Tesla, SpaceX, and X Back Kamala Harris Over Trump
Workforce Donations in Presidential Elections
By Sheila Dang (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk has endorsed Republican former President Donald Trump in his quest to reclaim the White House. But the employees at his range of companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and X, are channeling their support towards Trump’s Democratic competitor, Kamala Harris.
Donation Breakdown by Company
- Tesla Workers: Donated $42,824 to Harris vs. $24,840 to Trump
- SpaceX Employees: Contributed $34,526 to Harris vs. $7,652 to Trump
- X Platform Contributors: Donated $13,213 to Harris vs. less than $500 to Trump
Although these figures may seem minimal for campaign fundraising, they reflect a significant divergence in political sentiment amongst Musk's workforce compared to their boss's affiliations. The world's richest individual, Musk, has publicly elevated Trump's status on X and dismissed leftist ideologies as unfounded.
