Original Note:
In terms of announcing endorsements this might be true, however Mr. Musk has donated over 303 times to political candidates since 2002. https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=elon+musk&order=desc&page=6&sort=D Cash contributions are seen as a form of "backing (latin)" or endorsing a candidate since the records are public with the FEC. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/endorse-presidential-candidate-meaning https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/making-disbursements-ssf-or-connected-organization/endorsing-candidates-corporation-labor-organization/ https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/types-contributions/
