According to documents released Thursday, December 5, by the US Federal Election Commission, Elon Musk spent more than $250 million to support Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Musk directed the bulk of the funds to the political action committee America PAC, which he controls, transferring three tranches of $25 million each at the final stage of the election race. In addition, the entrepreneur spent $40.5 million on legally controversial payments to swing-state voters who signed a petition supporting the Constitution.
In addition, from published documents it follows that Musk single-handedly financed the RBG PAC committee, transferring $20 million to it. This Republican organization, which worked for Trump’s victory, used the initials of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who opposed Trump’s policies during his last term. During the campaign, the committee promoted the idea that Trump and Justice Ginsburg had similar positions on the issue of abortion.
