Elon Musk has given at least 75 million USD from July of a political committee he created in support of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to data published by the US Federal Election Commission.
The funds were transferred in several tranches between July 3 and September 5. Musk was the only person to fund the committee's work during that time.
The Washington Post in September noted that the commission is stepping up the campaign to support Trump in some US states where neither Democrats nor Republicans have a clear advantage. According to the publication, this shows the "strengthening of the political union" between the two countries. between Musk and Trump.
Musk previously supported Trump in the election. The Republican candidate admitted that if he wins, he will appoint Musk to some post in his administration.
The Democratic candidate in the upcoming November 5 presidential election in the United States will be Vice President Kamala Harris.
