Musk has become an increasingly vocal backer of Trump, using his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to promote the former president as well as amplify claims he’s made blaming immigrants for increased violence. — AP
Elon Musk poured US$75mil into the super political action committee he created earlier this year, launching the Tesla Inc and SpaceX chief executive officer into the top tier of political donors as he pays for much of the ground game for Donald Trump’s campaign.
Musk’s super PAC is paying for Trump’s get-out-the-vote operations in battleground states in an effort to bolster turnout for the former president and Republicans in swing districts that could help the GOP win a House majority. The group, America PAC, is also spending on digital ad campaigns, some of which target young men, trying to get them to the polls to offset Harris’ advantage among women voters.
