Elon Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help Donald Trump win November’s presidential election, according to new filings, underscoring the influence one of the world’s wealthiest people had on this year’s White House race.
The billionaire owner of electric car maker Tesla and SpaceX gave $259 million to groups supporting Trump’s 2024 campaign, according to new Federal Election Commission filings released late on Thursday.
The huge donations made Musk one of the biggest underwriters of a presidential campaign in U.S. history, helping him to become a powerful political ally of Trump and someone who now plays a key role in shaping the incoming Republican administration’s policy agenda.
Elon is a CEO… just saying.
I really hope he doesn’t threaten to gut people’s retirement funds and gets shot for it. That would be terrible.
Oh I know, getting shiot would just be totally not necessary.
(I curse a lot so “shot” got autocorrected to shit. Then I tried to fix it on my mobile. I got there eventually!)
Oh I thought you were being sneaky ;)
