Facing Numerous Federal Probes, Elon Musk Spends Millions to Help Elect Trump & Gut Gov't Regulation
We take a look at the richest man in the world, multibillionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, and his support for Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election. During a campaign town hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Musk pledged to give away $1 million to random voters in battleground states every day until November 5 if they sign an online petition in support of the First and Second Amendments. We speak to Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Eric Lipton, whose new investigation at The New York Times looks at Musk's multibillion-dollar contracts with the federal government and the many regulatory investigations his businesses are currently being subject to, both of which may be at stake with the results of the upcoming election.
