"Elon Musk says" not a Elon fan but where did he say that? I have only seen them say "Sources close to". If he actually does it and we have records yes it is bad. But right now it's just a rumor.

Nope, nothing there. Still waiting for actual facts.

WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk has said he plans to commit around $45 million a month to a new pro-Trump super political-action committee, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

So you object to the WSJ, and/or their not-naming their source.

No, I object to no paper trails or direct videos or quotes from Elon himself saying he will do it. They don't even have a email transaction log or call log to show he has been in contact with the super pac.

Isn’t it the case that the superPAC doesn’t have to reveal its donors?

No problem. You can be on that side, believing all the same stuff, and only be against the more extreme methods of group-based self-deception. It’s just bad internal intelligence methods. No biggie. The core philosophy’s still sound, I’m sure.
