Elon Musk has finally spoken about what happened between him and Donald Trump during their infamous meeting in Florida on March 3, CNBC reported.

The tech billionaire also shared that he will not be donating money to any candidate.

Musk, in an interview to CNN, shared that he was having breakfast at a friend’s place, when Trump came to meet him.

Musk said he "was having breakfast, when my friend asked me if it was okay if Trump joined in as well for breakfast", to which the tech tycoon replied "yes".

Sharing details from the encounter, the Space X owner said: "There was nothing particularly ground-breaking or new, Trump likes to talk. And so, he talked. I don’t recall him saying anything that he hasn't said publicly. And that was it, just a breakfast."

Furthermore, responding to a question on whether he'll be helping Trump monetarily, Musk refused and said: "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President."

WheN CNN asked the X owner who he plans to endorse as the presidential candidate, he laughingly replied: "I'm leaning away from Biden," and hasn’t decided his decision yet.

Musk, 52, has a net worth of $188billion and is the third richest man in the world after Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnaut. Currently, he is in a legal battle with Open AI Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sam Altman.
