Recent campaign finance reports reveal that Elon Musk has injected nearly $44 million into a super PAC aimed at aiding Donald Trump's return to the White House. This contribution brings Musk's total donations to the group he established for the former president to almost $119 million. The influx of funds from the world's wealthiest individual comes as Vice President Kamala Harris outpaces Trump in fundraising, amassing around $97 million compared to Trump's $16 million in the first half of October.
Both candidates and their affiliated political entities have been on a spending spree this month, collectively burning through over half a billion dollars as they vie for an edge leading up to Election Day. Harris' principal campaign committee outspent Trump's, with nearly $166 million spent between October 1 and 16, primarily on media expenses.
