Elon Musk, the world's richest man with a net worth of $250 billion, is reportedly making significant efforts to influence the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election in favor of Donald Trump. According to the New York Times, Musk is spending between $140 million and $180 million on a Trump super PAC and coordinating with Twitter to throttle links to leaked campaign documents. Additionally, Musk is rallying other billionaires to support Trump and has temporarily moved to Pennsylvania. His involvement is described as unprecedented in modern history, with promises that he would oversee a massive government portfolio if Trump is elected. Musk's strategy, which he has honed at his companies SpaceX, Tesla, and X, was highlighted during a dinner in April at David Sacks' house, which included Rupert Murdoch and Peter Thiel.
