Donald Trump on Sunday met with tech magnate Elon Musk and several other wealthy Republican donors in Palm Beach, Florida, according to what three sources briefed on the meeting told the New York Times. It was not immediately clear from the Times report what the meeting was about; however, Trump is seeking to bolster his campaign funds by securing additional donors in the months ahead of the November presidential election.
Musk, who owns X/Twitter and heads SpaceX and Tesla, is one of the world's wealthiest men — as such, the Times reported, he could "potentially, almost single-handedly, erase what is expected to be Mr. Biden and his allies’ huge financial advantage over the former president." Biden entered February with $56 million in cash on hand compared to the Trump campaign's $30 million.
