For much of his career, #Musk gave modestly to candidates of both parties. He was drawn to President Barack #Obama, making several visits to meet w/him in the Oval & inviting him to Cape Canaveral to see SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. But he didn’t really like spending time w/politicians, & never aspired to be a political power broker, at least in the traditional sense. His business empire spanned the globe, & admins everywhere came & went. He seemed to view himself as being bigger than any party.
