Elon Musk reportedly had some advice for Republican lawmakers during an ultra-exclusive GOP donors retreat this week: Be more compassionate, and stay out of people’s bedrooms.
Musk delivered the message Tuesday during a question-and-answer session at an annual private gathering hosted by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in Jackson, Wyoming. The billionaire attended the event as a personal guest of McCarthy, who introduced him as the “Thomas Edison of our time.”
When asked by one donor how the GOP could improve its platform, Musk said Republicans should project a more compassionate stance to voters and be more welcoming toward immigrants, Axios reported.

The Tesla CEO purportedly asserted that immigration is a key part of maintaining a strong economy and cited his own decision to relocate from his native South Africa to the US.
Musk reportedly said the country would improve if Republicans “stayed out of people’s bedrooms,” and that Democrats likewise should stay “out of people’s wallets.”
