Musk To GOP Leaders: Stay Out Of People’s Bedrooms

August 18, 2022 Business, Republicans

Elon Musk told GOP congressional leaders and big-dollar donors on Tuesday that Republicans need to present a more compassionate front to voters and appeal to immigrants like himself, Axios has learned. While Musk has been publicly flirting with the Republican Party all year, his attendance at an exclusive GOP retreat in Wyoming marks a new level of involvement in helping the party define its agenda and prepare for its potential takeover of the House.

Musk suggested that the country would prosper if Republicans “stayed out of people’s bedrooms” and Democrats stayed “out of people’s wallets,” according to attendees. Asked by a donor what the Republican Party needed to do better, the South-African born Musk replied that it should be more compassionate to potential newcomers, noting that he chose America because of its opportunities. Immigrants, he said, are vital to maintaining a dynamic economy.
