Elon Musk has donated nearly $75 million to America PAC, a super PAC he created to support former President Donald Trump. This makes him one of the top Republican donors. Musk, the world’s wealthiest person, established the super PAC in May to help Trump’s campaign. He gave $14.95 million in July, $30 million in August, and $30 million in September. The filing also shows donations from associates of Musk. America PAC is focused on voter turnout efforts in swing states like Pennsylvania. The super PAC had just under $4 million in cash on hand as of Sept. 30. Musk has given smaller amounts to other Republican committees this year. His contributions have been subject to intense speculation, with Trump claiming Musk gave $45 million a month, a figure Musk disputed. Musk later clarified that he was supporting Trump at a lower level. Few individuals have given as much as Musk to Republican or pro-Trump efforts this year. Other filings before the Nov. 5 election may show additional donations from Musk or others.
