Elon Musk Donates $15M to Trump, Launches America Party

Elon Musk made a surprising $15 million donation to super PACs supporting President Donald Trump and the Republican Party as a peace offering following a public feud between the two. These donations were reported just before Musk announced the launch of his independent 'America Party,' which he created to promote freedom and challenge the current political system, citing waste and graft in government. Musk gave $5 million to three super PACs including MAGA Inc., the Senate Leadership Fund, and the Congressional Leadership Fund, according to Federal Election Commission filings. His America Party was announced after an online poll showed 65.4% of his followers supported forming the new party, which he hopes will provide an alternative to the existing one-party system. Previously, Musk held a special advisory role in the White House overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency, but his relationship with President Trump deteriorated leading to public disputes on social media. Despite their fallout, Musk’s political moves demonstrate a complex, pragmatic approach to influencing American politics and promoting his vision for reform.
