I don't understand your concern about Salon.com. It's a synthesis from several different sources, and it provides links to the sources.

The donation information comes from ProPublica. Musk's $33,900 donation is at https://projects.propublica.org/itemizer/filing/1246378/sche... .

That in turn links to the primary information at http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00669622/1246378/sa/A... , where you can see an entry for 33900.00. (The aggregate donation is 38900.00.)

Why did you need to trust Salon.com when the official information is so readily available for verification?

Or is there something else from the piece that you are hesitant about?

I stand corrected, I did not give my due diligence to following the source trail and verifying the veracity of the website.
