Billionaire Elon Musk spent over $250 million in the 2024 campaign to support President-elect Donald Trump, with over $20 million going to the mysterious super PAC RBG PAC. This super PAC, funded by a single donation from Musk’s trust, focused on ads questioning Trump’s stance on a federal abortion ban. The group’s website claimed Trump and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed on the abortion issue, drawing criticism from Ginsburg’s granddaughter. Despite past support for a federal ban on abortion after 20 weeks, Trump shifted to a states’ rights approach during the campaign. Musk also financed America PAC, which spent $157 million backing Trump, and the MAHA Alliance, connected to Robert F. Kennedy’s push. Musk’s donations to pro-Trump efforts may be even higher, as more fundraising reports are expected. Musk, a top donor to Trump, was also visible in his circle, advising on government efficiency and participating in his transition. Musk’s spending on political campaigns has made him a notable figure in national politics, attracting attention and scrutiny from various quarters.
