Looking at that second list, Elon has contributed about $130K to Republicans and a little over $40K to Democrats. Seems a strong lean towards Republicans. Now I am not going to say people can't donate money to the party of their choice but I have lived in the U.S. for all of my 62 years and anyone who donates a nickel to the Republican Party is not someone I care to know.
Everything is upside down and backwards now. The other day Trump claimed he's a more popular GOP president than Abraham Lincoln. This might be true if they had polls in the 1860s but they didn't.
As to Musk, I only hope he doesn't share any of the worst traits of some our previous industrial megalomaniacs.
Alexander Graham Bell
In 1921, he was the honorary president of the Second International Congress of Eugenics which advocated sterilization laws across the country for those Bell called a "defective variety of the human race." Some of those laws were used as models for similar laws in Nazi Germany.
or Henry Ford, a eugenicist and antisemite, author of The International Jew (1927), was an ardent admirer of Hitler and the racial policies of the Third Reich.
With the advances in genetic engineering like CRISPR/Cas9 and Gene Drive we can fix genetic defects without resorting to barbaric practices like eugenics.
