[quote=Anonymous]How is Musk not breaking election and contractor laws?

[quote][i]
Federal government contractors are prohibited from making contributions or expenditures, or promising to make any such contribution or expenditure, to any political party, committee, or candidate for federal office, or to any person for any political purpose or use. A federal government contractor is a person who enters into a contract, or is bidding on such a contract, with any agency or department of the United States government and is paid, or is to be paid, for services, material, equipment, supplies, land or buildings with funds appropriated by Congress. Since corporate contributions are already prohibited, the government contractor ban applies primarily to contributions from a partnership (or a limited liability company that has not elected to be treated as a corporation for federal tax purposes) that has entered into or is bidding on a government contract. It also applies to the personal and business funds of:

Individuals under contract to the federal government; and
Sole proprietors of businesses with federal contracts.
This prohibition does not apply to contributions or expenditures in connection with state or local elections.[/i][/quote]

This is cut and dry: federal contractors cannot donate in the furtherance of elections. [/quote]
