Not casting aspersions on Haberman, but: Sheldon Adelson? Newt Gingrich? What candidacy did he have? And does anybody remember Adelson as a power broker? Or even a wise political investor?It’s unclear if Musk will cut Trump a check. But he has made clear he sees defeating President Biden as a priority. And it’s worth remembering that Sheldon Adelson — who initially denied @kenvogel and my report that he pledged $20 mil to Gingrich - kept Gingrich candidacy alive.

The Koch Brothers made a concerted effort to influence politics. Some say they succeeded wildly. I think they did a little better than the Hunt Brothers attempt to corner the silver market (look it up! Punk kids!) Musk’s main effort has been to post shit on the money losing social media platform he was forced to buy because he shot his mouth off like a kid on the playground.
He may throw Trump a bone, but then he’ll get bored. And even $20 million would vanish like water spilled in the sand, with Trump. He’ll need that much just in attorney’s fees between now and September.
I take this as a sign Trump’s small dollar donors are drying up. Musk is not going to replace that cash flow, or replace the $50 million Trump has spent on lawyers already.
Or maybe Trump is hoping Elmo will fund an appeal bond or two, so Trump can keep pretending to be rich.🤑
