Cool, @elonmusk gave $38,900 to the Protect the House PAC to keep the Republicans in charge of Congress. Disrupt!

This is a bit misleading. He also gave money to the Democratic Midterm Victory Fund this March—which is more recent than his contribution to the Republican PAC—and generally donates a lot to establishment-y politicians and PACs in both parties. https://t.co/N0MNtGQ3CI https://t.co/3yH1Bmmuf4

It is not misleading. @elonmusk’s donation was on June 5, 2018, and it hasn’t been processed yet by the FEC. That’s why it doesn’t show up in the OpenSecrets link you used. See attached screenshots of the raw data. https://t.co/FG5Ty5hACL pic.twitter.com/liznTf2Mg6

It’s extremely misleading not to mention Musk has a long history of *also* donating to Democrats, including in this political cycle. https://t.co/KPFNgZSLym
