Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has become deeply involved in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, supporting Donald Trump with significant financial backing and strategic efforts. Musk has reportedly spent between $140 million to $180 million to aid Trump's campaign, including setting up war rooms in Pennsylvania and coordinating with the Trump campaign to suppress damaging information on social media platforms. Musk's involvement has been described as unprecedented in modern history, with his efforts likened to the exacting demands he employs at his companies such as SpaceX, Tesla, and X. This level of engagement has raised concerns about the influence of billionaires in democratic processes and the ethical implications of such involvement.
