Musk Endorses Trump, PAC Invests $2.1M in GOP

Elon Musk has endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. presidential race, despite employees at his companies—Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter)—largely donating to Kamala Harris. According to OpenSecrets, Musk's employees have contributed significantly more to Harris's campaign compared to Trump's. Concurrently, Musk's super PAC, America PAC, is spending over $2.1 million to support Republican candidates in competitive House races, particularly in New York and California. Musk’s PAC aims to promote meritocracy and minimize government intervention, contributing to GOP candidates while spending heavily on digital ads and canvassing operations. This divergence between Musk’s public political endorsements and his employees' contributions highlights a notable misalignment within his companies.
