David Ingram covers tech for NBC News.
Former President Donald Trump on Monday continued his courtship with tech billionaire Elon Musk, saying during a CNBC interview that he helped Musk in unspecified ways when he was in the White House. Trump was asked about Musk during a call-in appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” morning show. Co-host Joe Kernen mentioned a New York Times report published last week that said Trump had recently met with Musk and a few wealthy Republican donors as he was looking for money to pay for his campaign.
Musk said last year he wouldn’t vote for Biden over Trump in 2024, and he has lobbed insults at Biden, at one point calling him a “damp puppet in human form.” Last week, after news broke about Musk’s meeting with Trump, Musk posted on X that he was not donating money to either presidential candidate. The outcome of the presidential race could have a major impact on Musk’s businesses.
