New documents reveal that Elon Musk spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help Donald Trump win the presidential election in November, highlighting the impact one of the richest individuals in the world had on this year’s contest for the presidency.
According to fresh Federal Election Commission papers made public late Thursday, the billionaire owner of SpaceX and Tesla, two electric car manufacturers, donated $259 million to organizations backing Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Musk became a strong political supporter of Trump and is now a major player in determining the policy agenda of the upcoming Republican administration thanks to the enormous donations, which made him one of the largest underwriters of a presidential campaign in US history.
Musk donated $239 million to America PAC, a super PAC he established to support Trump’s campaign.
According to the FEC reports, Musk donated an extra $20 million to RBG PAC in late October. This organization aimed to persuade voters that Trump would not enact a national abortion ban. The group’s name honors the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal icon renowned for her advocacy of abortion rights.
