Elon Musk wants to donate $45 million a month to support Trump

Elon Musk plans to donate about $45 million a month to a group supporting Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, to which other tech industry figures contribute, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

Created at the end of May, according to documents published by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), “America PAC” is a super PAC, a “political action committee”, a legal entity which is not connected to a campaign team.

This cannot directly finance a candidate but the law authorizes it to carry out support actions, such as advertising campaigns or field activities.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “America PAC” dedicates its resources to encouraging Republican supporters in states likely to swing to Trump’s side to register to vote.

For those registered, the group encourages them to request to vote by mail or take advantage of early voting windows.

According to documents published by the FEC, among the donors to “America PAC” are the brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, known for their conflicts with Mark Zuckerberg at the creation of Facebook and, more recently, for their investments in cryptocurrencies.
