Elon Musk donates nearly $75M to Trump’s presidential campaign
Billionaire Elon Musk has contributed close to $75 million to a political action committee (PAC) he established to back Donald Trump's U.S. presidential campaign, according to recent filings. This marks Musk's growing support for the Republican cause. Musk, the world's wealthiest individual, has taken a more prominent role in Trump’s campaign, sharing the stage with him at a Pennsylvania rally and frequently criticizing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on social media. Trump often references Musk in his speeches and has pledged to appoint him to a committee aimed at reducing government red tape. Current polls show Trump and Harris in a tight race for the presidency. Between July 1 and September 30, Musk’s America PAC raised $74.95 million for Trump’s campaign, as per filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The PAC has focused on mobilizing voters in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, which could be pivotal in determining the election outcome. Ame
