Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump said on Thursday billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk never told him he planned to give $45m (R825.5m) for his campaign, adding that he disagrees with any electric car mandate.
“I disagree with the electric cars for everybody,” Trump told Fox News in an interview. “You want to have a choice, and that includes electric.”
