According to filings released by the US Federal Election Commission, Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and owner of X, finished the campaign season as one of Donald Trump’s biggest donors by far. Between publicly endorsing Trump on the heels of the July assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, and November 25, 2024, Musk donated more than $238 million to his own political action committee, America PAC, which aggressively campaigned on the ground in swing states for the Trump campaign.
Main Idea: Elon Musk gave massive amounts of money to support Donald Trump, making him one of Trump’s biggest backers in the 2024 race.
Key Points:
Elon Musk’s huge donations and X support could sway voters and give one candidate more power, raising fears of outsized influence over policy that affects households and businesses.
The donations may boost campaign outreach and voter turnout in swing states, giving some voters more information before choosing.
