Reminder: Hyundai motor company donated $1 million to the orange MAGAt king’s inauguration.
Do you have a citation for this claim?
FEC Form 13 filing that lists all donors: https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00894162/1889684/f132
“HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA” is listed as having donated “$1000000.00” on 2025-01-06.
There are a lot of other companies that donated similar amounts to which people should pay attention.
Thank you for this. I'm making a long list of brands to avoid.
Ford, Toyota, Caterpiller, FCA, GM....so why focus on Hyundai? GM also donated $1M.
worth noting, Hyundai is also classified as a war profiteer in both Ukraine and Palestine. you will find me in another comment praising the Ioniq 5. This is in contrast to Tesla, bear in mind
name a car maker that has not contributed to MAGA. That's how business is done in US.
Companies always have a choice, and the choices that we do know about should be highlighted.
I agree, but I think their point was more or less, so am i not allowed to buy a new car?
So a more helpful answer would be, buy used and private or used and at a dealership that isn't associated with a brand.
