Tesla CEO Elon Musk met with former President Donald Trump on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida, along with unnamed wealthy Republican donors, the New York Times reported, citing three people briefed on the meeting.
Private jets belonging to Trump and Musk were spotted landing within less than an hour of one another at a Palm Beach airport on March 2.
Musk, who owns X and runs defense contractor SpaceX in addition to Tesla, didn't endorse Trump in his 2016 or 2020 campaigns.
In 2022, Trump called Musk a "bull---- artist," claiming that the Tesla CEO said he voted for Trump in private conversations between them.
In November 2022, after Musk bought Twitter with the assistance of funding from Saudi Arabia, President Biden was asked whether Musk was a potential threat to national security.
