Elon Musk Is Going All-Out To Elect Donald Trump
HuffPost
Musk has given $75 million to his own pro-Trump super PAC. That’s just the start.
A few days after Elon Musk first offered to buy what was then called Twitter and is now X, he wrote that the website “must be politically neutral” in order to deserve the public’s trust — “which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.”
Two years later, with a significant presidential election fast approaching, Musk has thrown neutrality out the window and spent millions to boost former President Donald Trump’s campaign, raising concerns that he’ll use the platform to help Trump as well.
And if Trump loses and once again contests the election result, Musk could wield a massive social media platform weaponized to boost conspiracy theories about the November vote. X did not respond to HuffPost questions for this story.
Earlier this year, Musk said he wasn’t donating money to either presidential candidate. In July, he denied a Wall Street Journal report that Musk said he planned on donating “around $45 million a month” to a super PAC he helped create, America PAC, that has aggressively supported Trump’s campaign in key states throughout the country.
On Tuesday, however, the first federal campaign finance records were published since the Journal’s report – showing Musk’s seven donations to the PAC between July 3 and Sept. 5. In total, the records show Musk has given just under $75 million to the PAC.
