Elon Musk has become a ‘mega donor’ to Donald Trump‘s 2024 presidential campaign, contributing around $75 million to the pro-Trump political action committee, America PAC, according to federal disclosures released on Tuesday.
America PAC is focused on mobilising Trump supporters in crucial battleground state, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Musk officially spent$ 72 million in these states in the third, more than any other pro-Trump organization that is focused on voting outreach.
Musk, who has recently backed Democratic individuals, endorsed Trump in July and also spoke up alongside him at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month. His shift to the right has boosted the confidence of Trump’s battle, especially as America PAC focuses on get-out-the-vote activities.
Prior, Musk’s America PAC previously urged people to cast ballots by providing a$ 47 reward to registered voters who suggested inviting people to sign a petition in favor of the First and Second Amendments.
Musk is a member of the elite group of Republican megadonors, which includes game businessman Miriam Adelson and bank heir Timothy Mellon. During the same time, Adelson contributed$ 95 million to another pro-Trump party, Preserve America PAC, bolstering Democratic fundraising efforts.
The PAC had just$ 4 million left by the end of September, as stated in the statements. Despite all the losses, Musk’s funds have made him a vital figure in Trump’s plan work.
Trump has also reacted to Musk’s support and stated that if elected, he would like to work with him in some potential. In a discussion with Maria Bartiromo on’ Sunday Morning Futures,’ Donald Trump had praised Elon Musk as” a wonderful business man” and” a tremendous cost-cutter”, noting Musk’s trust in cutting costs without impacting someone. When asked about Musk joining his Cabinet, Trump clarified that Musk prefers a position focused on cost-cutting, suggesting a new placement:” Secretary of Cost-Cutting”.
