Elon Musk-Linked Organization Donates $500,000 To Scuttle Florida Cannabis Legalization Amendment

A political committee opposing Florida’s cannabis legalization measure has received a $500,000 donation from an organization reportedly linked to Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk‘s prior support of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s primary presidential bid. The financial boost comes as the campaign pushing for cannabis legalization crosses $100 million in contributions.

Florida’s cannabis legalization initiative, known as Amendment 3, is set to go before Florida voters in the upcoming November elections.

The Florida branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) posted a familiar video while commenting on Musk’s anti-cannabis move, which is followed by a breakdown of the campaign finance database provided by Florida investigative reporter Jason Garcia, who covers corporate influence in Florida.
