Musk supports Trump with million-dollar donation
The richest man in the world is paying a lot to support his preferred presidential candidate: Elon Musk has donated around 75 million dollars in just three months to a political organization that supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
This is according to documents published by the US Electoral Commission on Tuesday. The majority of the money, around 72 million dollars, flowed to the "America PAC" between July and September, according to the documents.
The tech billionaire and Tesla boss Musk was the only donor to the group during this period. The organization focuses on mobilizing voters in battleground states. As such, "America PAC" has spent more money than any other pro-Trump group with the same focus.
Musk used to vote Democrat
Musk, who by his own admission had voted for Democratic presidential candidates in the past, thus took a clear step to the right. He had publicly supported Trump in July and appeared with him at a campaign event in Pennsylvania earlier this month.
