Barry Diller thinks Elon Musk is backing Donald Trump because he's bitter about being rejected by the Democrats, the billionaire told the "Fire and Fury" podcast.
Musk officially endorsed Trump after the former President was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania in July. He also created a super PAC, the America PAC, that has spent more than $80 million on the election.
"Why he has gone this way, I think, is out of some weird bitterness and rejection by the current administration," Diller told presenters Michael Wolff and James Truman.
Musk was once a supporter of Joe Biden, but the pair have often sparred verbally since Biden took office in 2021.
In July the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said he once considered the Democrats to favor meritocracy, "personal freedom" and "free speech," but now thought Republicans were "weirdly" more in line with those values.
Diller also said he thought Musk, the world's richest person, was not motivated by wealth but "a form of megalomania."
