Former Tesla president Jon McNeill discusses whether Tesla and SpaceX could merge by 2027 on \u2018The Claman Countdown.\u2019<\/p>\n
Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk indicated last year that he would donate to support Rep. Thomas Massie’s, R-Ky., re-election bid \u2014 but Massie told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that, as far as he is aware, Musk never donated to his campaign.<\/p>\n
The congressman emphasized that he still holds Musk in high regard.<\/p>\n
“Elon\u2019s done more for America than any other entrepreneur-inventor this century. I think he found it\u2019s easier to land rockets backwards, provide internet to every inch of the planet, and get cars to drive themselves than it is to fix a broken Washington, D.C., and I don\u2019t blame him a bit for stepping away from this mess,” Massie wrote to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“Most of my colleagues, and the guy I\u2019m running against, are just not serious about cutting the waste, fraud, and abuse in government,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“To my knowledge, he has not donated to my campaign,” Massie noted of Musk. “If he\u2019s donated to a separate superPAC, I\u2019m unaware of that as well. I want to reiterate though that I still have massive respect for him and no animosity whatsoever.”<\/p>\n
On June 30, 2025, former Rep. Justin Amash urged Musk to support Massie, writing in a post on X, “Please support @RepThomasMassie. The establishment is working to primary him because he\u2019s a genuine fiscal conservative and opposes the Big, Bloated Scam.”<\/p>\n
“I will,” Musk replied.<\/p>\n

Then Musk shared a post in which someone had written, “I donated again to @RepThomasMassie\u2019s re-election campaign. Who\u2019s next?”<\/p>\n
“Me,” Musk wrote when sharing the post on July 1, 2025.<\/p>\n
Massie, who has served in the House since late 2012, is facing former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein in the Republican primary in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District.\u00a0<\/p>\n
