Elon Musk donates ‘sizable amount’ to pro-Trump super PAC: Report – Washington Examiner
In a report by the Washington Examiner, it was revealed that tech magnate Elon Musk has donated a “sizable amount” to the America PAC, which supports former President Donald Trump. This marks the first time in this election cycle that Musk has endorsed or financially backed a presidential candidate. Musk, known for his right-leaning views, made the donation according to Bloomberg. The donation is seen as significant as Musk has previously expressed support for Trump’s policies, particularly in the areas of space exploration and economic development. Musk’s contributions to the America PAC could help boost Trump’s chances in the upcoming election, as the former president has been exploring a potential run for the White House in 2024.
Musk’s donation is likely to stir up controversy, as the tech billionaire has a large following and his support for Trump could lead to backlash from some of his fans. However, Musk has never been one to shy away from controversy and has often spoken out about his political beliefs on social media.
It remains to be seen how Musk’s endorsement will impact Trump’s campaign moving forward, but it is clear that the tech mogul’s support could have a significant influence on the upcoming election cycle.
Elon Musk donates ‘sizable amount’ to pro-Trump super PAC: Report
Tech magnate Elon Musk has donated a “sizable amount” to the America PAC, which supports former President Donald Trump, according to Bloomberg.
It’s the first time this election cycle that Musk has endorsed or financially backed a presidential candidate. Musk, who has shown right-leaning views on X, the social media platform he owns along with Tesla, is considered the richest man in the world.
The donation comes as Democrats have blasted President Joe Biden with calls to step down and donors have threatened to freeze funds to his presidential campaign if he doesn’t. Trump largely trailed in fundraising until he was convicted in his Manhattan hush money trial in May, a month in which the campaign raised $141 million.

The cash injection closed the gap between Trump and Biden in cash on hand, and Musk’s donation could add to that. America PAC generally deals with bolstering the Trump campaign’s ground game.
Trump and Musk have been rumored to be close as it appeared the former president was weighing an advisory role for him if Trump won the presidency again. In a Tesla annual meeting last month, Musk said, “[Trump] does call me out of the blue for no reason.”
