The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of X has ramped up his support of his conservative super PAC and Trump.

Billionaire Elon Musk promoted debunked conspiracy theories about election fraud Thursday at the first of a series of planned campaign events across Pennsylvania meant to rally support for former President Donald Trump’s campaign.

At a town hall hosted at a high school outside Philadelphia, Musk referred to the false conspiracy theory that Dominion Voting Systems was part of a plot to rig U.S. elections in recent years.

The company has broadly rejected any claims that it has participated in efforts to manipulate elections. Last year, it struck a $787.5 million settlement with Fox News in its defamation lawsuit against the media outlet over such claims.

    The fine is less than a billion so he can do it over 300 times. It’s a law he clearly doesn’t care about.

      That was for Fox News which is part of an entity that is worth $21 billion. The punitive damages would be much higher for someone worth $264 billion.
