   “In 2020, employees from SpaceX and Tesla respectively donated seven and nine times the amount to Democratic candidates and their PACs than to the GOP, OpenSecrets data shows. Employees at Twitter, which Musk did not own at the time, contributed 15 times more money to Democrats or progressive-leaning PACs during that election cycle, according to OpenSecrets.”

4. E4 Twitter employees continued massive donations to Democrats in 2022, records show Washington Examiner · 16 December 2022

   “Employees at Twitter overwhelmingly donated to Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections, continuing a trend”

E2 reports that over 99% of Twitter employee donations in the 2022 midterms went to Democrats, with Republicans getting 0.27%. E1 puts the Democratic share of employee donations to candidates at 98.47% for the 2020 cycle. Both figures are in or above the criteria's "true" range. However, E3 says that in 2020, citing OpenSecrets, employees gave Democrats or progressive PACs 15 times as much as the GOP. That works out to roughly 94% under a broader measure, which is below 95%. Overall the evidence shows an overwhelmingly Democratic share, near but not always at 99%, and none of the evidence covers the company PAC.
