Elon Musk's endorsement of Donald Trump complicates his relationship with government policy, especially regarding electric vehicle mandates that benefit Tesla. Despite Trump's opposition to regulations promoting electric vehicles, Musk continues to seek government support, demonstrating a pragmatic approach to subsidies while publicly rejecting them. Musk's political engagement expanded with the establishment of America PAC, aiming to mobilize 800,000 voters for Trump, yet the PAC has experienced internal turmoil shortly before the elections. Former Tesla executive Rohan Patel argues that the Inflation Reduction Act has disproportionately benefited Tesla, countering claims that Democrats have sidelined the company. Meanwhile, Musk has faced criticism from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his provocative statements amidst rising far-right violence, showcasing his deepening involvement in cultural and political debates. Musk's evolution from a politically ambiguous figure to a staunch Republican supporter highlights a significant shift in his public persona.
