I read this too... This post should be removed for bullshit. It may be the original articles headline... but the headline is complete and utter garbage.
I mean it's true that Venmo was not an option to donate money there prior to Trump's presidency. He probably has nothing to do with it, but who knows. Could have been Musks idea to update payment methods, or the last admin..
If Musk's idea, wouldn't it have been PayPal?
PayPal was added as well according to the article.
It's just not enough money to make it something I think musk would have cared about. 2.9% per domestic paypal transaction...
I imagine it's only about 30k a year they'd make off those little donations
