‘Take the red pill’: Musk’s support for Trump follows wave of government probes into his companies

As Elon Musk ramps up his $1 million-a-day support for Donald Trump, what appears to be a record of progressive harassment of his many companies may explain how the world’s richest man went all-in for Republicans.

To date, the multibillionaire has reportedly dumped $75 million of his own cash into the political action committee to support Trump’s third bid for the presidency.

Musk’s transformation from a politically unengaged tech billionaire to mega-donor and avid campaigner has earned him the ire of Democrats who have derided “disinformation” on his X platform and suggest he is violating the law in his support for Trump.

“Take the red pill,” Elon Musk posted to X, alluding to the famous choice in the cult-classic movie "The Matrix" which has now come to represent a choice between the Red (Republican) and Blue (Democratic) political parties.

Musk’s evolution into a fervent Trump supporter comes after years increasingly aggressive probes into his four companies by various agencies of the Biden administration for seemingly frivolous and potentially serious concerns alike.

Musk’s other companies, X, Tesla, and Neuralink have also faced scrutiny from Biden administration regulators and agencies.

“There is more government regulatory smothering every year.
