MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, Rachel Maddow, and Joy Reid discuss the Wall Street Journal's reporting that Elon Musk plans to give around $45 million a month to a newly formed super PAC to support former President Donald Trump.

Minutes after a Pennsylvania man attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Saturday, the owner of X, Elon Musk, posted on the platform, “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery.” The post included a 12-second video of Trump moments after the shooting, surrounded by Secret Service agents, blood smeared across his face and mouthing the word “fight” with his fist in the air. The post was reposted more than 400,000 times.
