Elon Musk Pledges $45 Million Monthly To Pro-Trump Super PAC To Counter Dems In Swing States<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

As reported by the Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em>, a source familiar with the situation has revealed\u00a0Elon Musk’s latest power move: a $45 million a month\u00a0commitment to a new super political-action committee to support former\u00a0President Donald Trump. This new super PAC will deploy large sums of money and other resources in critical\u00a0swing states to counter ‘get out the vote’ campaigns by Democrats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Called ‘America PAC,’ the group is reportedly focused on registering voters and convincing constituents to vote early and request mail-in ballots across swing states, according to the people. The group will counter get out the vote campaigns by Democrats in swing states.<\/p>\n

Besides Musk,\u00a0America PAC is supported by\u00a0Palantir Technologies co-founder Joe Lonsdale, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, and former US\u00a0ambassador to Canada Kelly Craft and her husband, Joe, the chief executive of coal producer Alliance Resource Partners.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a Monday filing, America PAC received $8.75 million in contributions for the quarter ending June 30, as reported by the WSJ. Musk is rumored to begin his donations this month.<\/p>\n

A recent Bloomberg News report indicated Musk had donated to the new super PAC last week, although the donation size was not mentioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the failed assassination attempt on Trump,\u00a0Musk wrote on X on Saturday evening,\u00a0“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” adding,\u00a0“Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt.”<\/p>\n

X user End Wokenes<\/em> wrote, “Elon Musk went from being an Obama voter to pledging $180 million to elect DJT. The woke left really f*cked up. Badly.”<\/p>\n

Musk responded with a “Yeah”…\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yeah<\/p>\n

Perhaps the Democrats\u00a0miscalculated their assault on Musk.<\/p>\n

Musk also\u00a0praised Trump’s selection of J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential nominee, calling it an “excellent” choice.<\/p>\n

Congratulations @JDVance1<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Excellent decision by @realDonaldTrump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vance has ties with Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir Technologies. In recent weeks, David Sacks has backed Trump, even hosting a fundraiser at his San Francisco mansion. Whether it’s Thiel, Sacks, or Musk, they were all once part of a group dubbed the ‘PayPal Mafia.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
