A few weeks ahead of the presidential campaign, Elon Musk has taken an unprecedented role in the U.S. election, actively supporting Donald J. Trump. Recently spotted celebrating alongside former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the richest man in the world has established regular communication with the candidate, speaking to him multiple times a week.
Musk has leveraged his platform on X, the social media site he acquired for $44 billion, to promote Trump's candidacy to his 201 million followers while also spreading conspiracy theories about the Democratic Party and disparaging its candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, as reported by The New York Times. Additionally, he has directed significant financial resources into a political action committee called America PAC, which has garnered support from several prominent tech figures. This PAC aims to mobilize voters for Trump, not only in Pennsylvania but across the country.
