Elon Musk was spotted Wednesday in the US&nbsp;Capitol Building ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to lawmakers as the war in Gaza continues into its ninth month.&nbsp;

A reporter asked Musk,&nbsp;"Are you still going to donate to Trump? Are you still donating $45 million?"

Musk replied, "At no point did I say that I was donating $45 million a month for Trump. That was a fiction made up by the Wall Street Journal."

Footage of the interaction between the reporter and Musk was posted on X by Collin Rugg.&nbsp;

On July 16, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/elon-musk-pledges-45-million-monthly-pro-trump-super-pac-counter-dems-swing-states">reported</a> that "people familiar with the matter" said Musk committed $45 million monthly to a new super political-action committee supporting the former president.&nbsp;

Earlier this week,&nbsp;in an interview with&nbsp;Jordan Peterson,&nbsp;the billionaire said, "What's been reported in the media is simply not true. I am not donating $45 million a month to Trump."&nbsp;

Musk has often criticized mainstream corporate media for inaccurate reporting.

He has called out Reuters and Business Insider.&nbsp;

"At no point did I say that I was donating..."
