Here’s what Fox Business reported:
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk was spotted Wednesday in the U.S. Capitol, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to address a joint meeting of Congress for the first time since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel ignited a war in the Middle East.
Kelly Phares, a senior Capitol Hill producer for Fox News, caught up with Musk and asked him why he was there.
Musk’s appearance at the Capitol comes as he has been increasingly vocal about his support for former President Trump’s presidential campaignahead of this fall’s election – an endorsement he made public after the failed assassination attempt on Trump earlier this month.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Musk planned to donate $45 million per month to America PAC, a pro-Trump super PAC that was launched with financial support from a group of business executives.
Musk pushed back on those reports this week, telling a conservative commentator, “I am making some donations to America PAC, but at a much lower level and the key values of the PAC are supporting a meritocracy and individual freedom.”
🚨 JUST IN: Elon Musk has just been spotted at the US Capitol!
No official word as to why he’s here, but Israeli PM Netanyahu is scheduled to address Congress in just a couple hours.
