He did not provide further details.

Musk, who also owns SpaceX and X, backs Trump for the coming Nov. 5 presidential election.

The practices of America PAC, which is supporting Trump’s candidacy, are also being eyed by the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office and Michigan’s secretary of state.

Musk is also the owner of the social media company X, which was previously known as Twitter when the company was publicly owned. Trump was for years an avid Twitter user before the site banned his account because he incited the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters.

The ban was lifted after Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion.

Despite that, Trump uses Truth Social for his social media messages. The company is owned by Trump Media, a publicly traded company whose majority shareholder is the former president.
