Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most significant financial backers of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, contributing over $250 million in the final weeks of the 2024 election cycle. Musk's contributions included $79 million to his super PAC, @America, and $40.5 million on checks to voters for a petition drive. Additionally, Musk funded the RBG PAC, a pro-Trump group, with $20.5 million, which notably used Ruth Bader Ginsburg's image to defend Trump on abortion issues. This financial support has made Musk one of Trump's biggest donors, influencing the political landscape significantly.
