Elon Musk's $140-180M Effort to Support Trump in Pennsylvania's 2024 Election

Oct 11, 2024, 04:58 PM

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has become deeply involved in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, supporting Donald Trump's campaign with significant financial contributions and strategic efforts. Musk has reportedly spent between $140-180 million through his America PAC to back Trump, and has set up war rooms in key locations like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Additionally, Musk's social media platform, X, has been accused of coordinating with the Trump campaign to censor potentially damaging information, such as the leaked JD Vance dossier. This unprecedented level of involvement, including spending $47 per voter and targeting Pennsylvania, has raised concerns about election interference and the influence of billionaires on democratic processes. The New York Times reports that Musk, who is worth $250 billion, is almost manic about ensuring Trump's victory.
