Elon Musk's $130M Boost for Trump's Campaign

Elon Musk has significantly bolstered Donald Trump's election campaign by contributing over $130 million to political efforts supporting the former president. The majority of this funding has been channeled through Musk's America PAC, which focuses on voter turnout in pivotal states, with over $119 million dedicated to Trump's campaign alone. Musk's financial backing has positioned him as a leading Republican mega-donor, alongside others like Timothy Mellon and Miriam Adelson. The PAC is also engaging in controversial tactics, such as daily $1 million giveaways to signatories of a pro-Trump petition. Despite Musk's substantial contributions, Vice President Kamala Harris has outpaced Trump in fundraising, having secured $97 million in early October, effectively using her resources for extensive advertising campaigns. Additionally, Musk has supported other Republican causes, including a $10 million donation to the Senate Leadership Fund and contributions to the Sentinel Action Fund.
