Elon Musk invested $75 million to support Trump | US elections 2024

The boss of Tesla, SpaceX and data from the US Election Commission (FEC) released on Tuesday.

The billionaire, who multiplies his political outbursts on X, took the stage of a campaign meeting with the former president in early October and declared himself ready to govern alongside Donald Trump in the event of victory.

Elon Musk even announced on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday on X that he would campaign himself on the ground in Pennsylvania in the coming days.

Son America PAC – financial incarnation of the turn to the right of one of the richest men on the planet – criss-crosses key states, prioritizing, according to the Washington Postdoor-to-door rather than advertisements to convince as many voters as possible to vote for Donald Trump, and not for Democrat Kamala Harris.

On its website, America PAC proposes to get involved to convince voters on the ground from $30 per hour, plus performance bonuses.

This support committee also promises to pay $47 to anyone who gets a voter in a key state to sign a petition in favor of free speech and gun ownership, easy moneyposted Mr. Musk on his social network X.

At the end of September, Elon Musk’s political fund had $40 million at its disposal, according to data from the FEC.

The successful boss of SpaceX and Tesla regularly repeats the acrimonious rhetoric used by Donald Trump, for example taking up the theory according to which the Democratic camp is transporting “illegal” migrants to a handful of key states so that they will eventually obtain the American nationality and vote Democratic.

More than 5 million Americans have already voted in advance for the November 5 election, which seems, according to polls, to be extremely close between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
