Billionaire Elon Musk has been ramping up his support of Republican candidate Donald Trump as the 2024 election cycle has progressed. And he's been doing it in more ways than one. Besides showing up at a recent rally in Pennsylvania, the Tesla founder has been pouring millions of dollars into key House races to favor the GOP. In early October alone it was revealed that his political action committee, formally known as America PAC, poured $8.2 million into 18 different races across 11 states.
But perhaps most influential of all has been Musk's activity on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, which he owns. Musk's account, which has over 200 million followers, has become fertile ground for conservative conspiracy theories, especially, as a sprawling analysis by Bloomberg revealed on Thursday, those that have to do with the alleged link between immigration and voter fraud.
