Elon Musk has already changed his title at Tesla to Technoking - and now he's claiming to work for the Secret Service.
The tech billionaire donated $990 to the Republican National Committee across January 7 and 8, and listed his job as a "special agent" at the US Secret Service, new Federal Election Commission filings showed.
There is no evidence that Musk has any connection to the US Secret Service.
In donations made between 2018 and 2020, Musk listed his employer as aerospace company SpaceX, apart from one donation where he listed Tesla as his employer. He is the CEO of both companies.

Interesting if it is pursued. That seems a particularly bad time to be sending money to the GOP.

(33,643 posts)Probably something symbolic about $990 total across two days.
I do notice that could be 450 + 540.

I cant believe weve entrusted Elon Musk to fix all of the worlds most dire problems because he has shown us time and again that he doesnt know what hes doing but we just reward him with billions of dollars and a license to blow up 30 spaceships

Is there a comprehensive history of every problem he promised to solve and the outcomes? Because Im remembering the Thai cave rescue incident and also how Elon publicly announced that he had singlehandedly fixed the ventilator shortage but he actually just had a bunch of cpaps
