Elon Musk Invests $132 Million in Trump’s $130 Million Re-election Campaign as President-elect

Elon Musk has reportedly invested at least $132 million into Donald Trump's re-election campaign, positioning himself as a significant financial backer for the president-elect. Analysts suggest that Musk's approach may reflect a strategy to influence government operations similarly to how he manages his business ventures, which some critics liken to treating the U.S. government as a money-losing social network. This substantial financial commitment underscores Musk's ongoing involvement in political financing and raises questions about the implications of such investments on governance and public policy.
