dreamvoid 07/15/18 5:08:14 PM #1:	http://fortune.com/2018/07/15/elon-musk-donations-republicans-controversy/ Its been a rough weekend for Elon Musk, and its not letting up: the Tesla CEO came under sudden and harsh scrutiny Saturday for political contributions to conservative politicians and campaign groups. Detractors, primarily on Twitter, say the donations contradict Musks purportedly pro-environment and socially progressive image, while illustrating deeper problems with the role of money in politics. The controversy appears to have been kicked off by reports, from outlets including Salon, on new Federal Election Commission filings showing that Musk donated $38,900 to a Political Action Committee named Protect the House. Other contributors to the same fund include NFL owner Robert McNair and casino kingpin Sheldon Adelson, both of whom have made large contributions to President Donald Trump and other Republicans. Critics have characterized Musks contribution as support for a party that opposes much of what he claims to stand for. Above all, the GOP has long been affiliated with attempts to deny the science that predicted climate change, while Musk created an entire company, Tesla, aimed at spreading green-energy technologies. Musk has been vigorously defending himself against critics, primarily by describing his contributions as aimed at getting access across the political spectrum, not at supporting a Republican agenda. it's probably not a good idea for someone environmentally conscious to aid those who directly oppose such a thing. --- https://imgur.com/2Qfzt9X https://imgur.com/qlXpj2E https://imgur.com/rPe48jC https://imgur.com/5xltd3r <cite>dreamvoid posted [p:905130239] in Elon Musk ...
