Democrat Senator Cory Booker Says He Will Not Accept Any Funding From Elon Musk

Did anyone ask, though?

Democrat Senator Cory Booker has announced he will accept no campaign funding from billionaire Elon Musk in the next election cycle.

Booker has, however, signaled he will welcome any efforts by Musk to get lawmakers to stop the Big Beautiful Bill from passing the Senate.

Fox News had more details to add:

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., told NBC News on Sunday that he wouldn’t accept money from Elon Musk for his re-election campaign, but urged the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official to “sound the alarm” on the “big, beautiful bill” endorsed by President Donald Trump.

“Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker asked Booker on Sunday if he would accept money from Musk after the billionaire and the president traded barbs.

“I will partner with anyone like I did in the last Congress, putting my vote alongside of John McCain’s, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins to stop the tearing down of the Affordable Care Act. This is not about right or left. It’s about right or wrong. And this bill is disastrous for the average American, driving up this cost. This bill is disastrous for our long-term economy. This is an American issue, and I welcome Elon Musk, not to my campaign, I welcome him right now, not to sit back and fire off tweets, to get involved right now in a more substantive way, in putting pressure on Congresspeople and senators to not do this,” Booker said.

Welker asked Booker again if he would accept money from Musk.

“I would not accept money from Elon Musk for my campaign, but I would be supportive of anybody, including Elon Musk, putting resources forward right now to let more Americans know, sound the alarm, treat this like a Paul Revere moment. More Americans have to understand that if this bill passes, average Americans are going to see their costs skyrocket, as this president, again, pushes legislation that is indicative of his chaos, corruption and cruelty towards Americans,” Booker said.

Musk criticized the Trump-backed bill as a “disgusting abomination.”

Sen. Cory Booker said that he wouldn't accept donations from tech mogul Elon Musk but urged the former Trump advisor to invest against the GOP budget bill.

Booker’s comments come as Musk has signaled he will fund opponents to any lawmaker who votes yes on the new spending bill.

However, Musk has never indicated he would fund Booker’s campaign.

Previously, President Trump stated there would be consequences for Musk if he backs Democrats in the upcoming elections.

Per NBC News:

President Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.

The president also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.

“No,” Trump said when asked if he had any wish to do so.
