Elon Musk has poured more than $445 million into the US election cycle, emerging as one of the biggest political donors in American history as he backs President Donald Trump’s Republicans in the November midterm elections, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The world’s richest person contributed $77 million to America PAC, his political action committee, in the first two weeks of October, according to Federal Election Commission filings. The committee spent $43 million during the same period and ended with $46.5 million in cash, as it stepped up efforts to help Republicans win crucial congressional contests.
