The incumbent President of the United States (US), President Joe Biden, has accused Elon Musk of attempting to buy electoral victory for the Republican Party candidate, Donald Trump, following his recent pledge to donate to a new fund backing Trump for President.
Musk, the owner of the microblogging site, X has revealed plans to commit roughly $45 million each month to a new fund backing Trump for US President, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Reacting to the development on Thursday, Biden said he was “sick” of Musk and his fellow billionaires trying to “buy” the November election for former President Trump.

He urged Americans to donate to his campaign fund to defeat Trump.
Speaking via his verified X handle Thursday, Biden wrote: “I’m sick of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election.
“And if you agree, pitch in here.”
It would be recalled that Elon Musk recently endorsed Donald Trump publicly after he survived an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler Pennsylvania on Saturday.
On November 5th, Donald Trump would run against incumbent Joe Biden of the Democratic Party on the platform of the Republican Party in what would be America’s first rematch election in almost 70 years.
