Elon Musk recently accumulated $75 million in donations to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, official figures which confirm that the entrepreneur is fully invested in the Republican.
The boss of Tesla, SpaceX and the American Election Commission (FEC) published Tuesday.
The billionaire, who multiplies his political outbursts on X, took the stage of a campaign meeting with the former president in early October and declared himself ready to govern alongside Donald Trump in the event of victory.
Elon Musk even announced on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday on X that he would campaign himself on the ground in Pennsylvania in the coming days.
His “America PAC” — the financial incarnation of the right-wing turn of one of the richest men on the planet — is canvassing key states, favoring, according to the Washington Post, door-to-door visits rather than advertisements to convince as many voters as possible to vote for Donald Trump, and not for Democrat Kamala Harris.
On its website, “America PAC” offers to get involved in convincing voters in the field “from $30 an hour, plus performance bonuses.”
This support committee also promises to pay $47 to anyone who gets a voter in a key state to sign a petition in favor of freedom of expression and gun ownership, “easy money” posted Mr. Musk on his social network X.
At the end of September, Elon Musk’s political fund had $40 million on hand, according to FEC data.
The successful boss of SpaceX and Tesla regularly repeats the acrimonious rhetoric used by Donald Trump, for example taking up the theory according to which the Democratic camp transports “illegal” migrants to a handful of key states so that they can eventually obtain American nationality and vote Democratic.
More than 5 million Americans have already voted in advance for the November 5 election, which according to polls seems extremely close between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
