This week on Elon, Inc., Bloomberg Businessweek editor Max Chafkin talks to political correspondent Joshua Green about a recent meeting (or is it meetings?) of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The tech multibillionaire has said he won’t be donating to either Trump or President Joe Biden’s campaign, but—as recent X posts make clear—he is firmly in the political territory of the Republican candidate. Will Trump and Musk put aside past differences to somehow merge? We discuss.
