Elon Musk gave another $56 million to elect Donald Trump and other Republicans in the final weeks of the 2024 election, bringing to at least $132 million the amount spent by the world’s richest person to elevate his allies to the White House and Congress, federal filings show.
The donations — revealed in disclosures with the Federal Election Commission Thursday — show that the Tesla Inc. and SpaceX chief executive officer has poured money into the Washington trifecta: funding Trump’s White House bid, along with supporting House and Senate Republicans.
Musk, who had only given modest political donations until the 2024 election cycle, funneled $43.6 million in the first half of October into America PAC, the group he founded, bringing his total for the year to $118.6 million. He also spent millions more spreading money around the political system which helps him build a network of allies.
The guy is pretty fucking dumb, Republicans don’t want to subsidize EV purchases, they cut spendings all over the place including space exploration… How does he thinks his condition will improve under them?
He needs Trump to win so he doesn’t go to prison.
He never went to prison since Biden got elected, the guy just had to shut the fuck up and be a good citizen that’s also working with the government to improve shit!
At this point I’m comfortable saying that that is physically impossible for him.
If Musk has been talking to Putin for the past two years… Maybe he’s in hock to Russia? Maybe Putin is strongly suggesting it would benefit Musk’s health to make sure Trump is elected?
He bought Twitter and fell down the propaganda rabbit hole.
He got offered a job at the government, that’s how.
This is what I keep thinking. If we drew a Venn diagram of hardcore republicans and EV buyers, they would be two distant, non-intersecting circles.
Giving them money would change their stance on these key issues. The state can subsidize all those industries at the same time.
