Elon Musk Spent $277 Million, Funded RBG PAC to Support Trump in 2024 Election
Dec 6, 2024, 05:29 PM
Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, spent at least $277 million during the 2024 U.S. presidential election to support Donald Trump's campaign, making him the largest political donor in U.S. history, according to newly released Federal Election Commission filings. Musk contributed approximately $239 million to America PAC, his pro-Trump super PAC, with funds coming through the Elon Musk Revocable Trust and alias LLCs like 'United States of America Inc.' In the final weeks of the race, he made multiple $25 million contributions to America PAC. Additionally, Musk was the sole funder of RBG PAC, donating over $20 million to the group. RBG PAC used the name and likeness of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in advertisements aimed at portraying Trump's stance on abortion as aligned with Ginsburg's views, attempting to convince voters that Trump would not sign a national abortion ban. These substantial contributions underline Musk's significant influence on the election and highlight the increasing involvement of billionaires in U.S. political campaigns.
