As the US presidential elections approach, the political move of the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, continues to shake the agenda. Musk decided to make a major investment to support former President Donald Trump’s election campaign. With this initiative, Musk is on his way to becoming a decisive actor not only with his vision in technology and space but also in politics.
America PAC with millions of dollars
The most notable part of Musk’s new move is the political action committee he created to provide massive financial support to Trump’s campaign, called “America PAC.†According to rumors, millions of dollars will be spent through this PAC and will support Trump in the most critical stages of the campaign. Musk’s move indicates that he has taken his interest in the US elections to a new level.
campaign on platform X
Elon Musk is also using his Twitter platform for Trump’s campaign. Musk, who took over the username “America†on the platform formerly known as Twitter and now known as X, started publishing political messages and advertisements through this account. This initiative is an indication that Musk will play a strategic role in media and communication, as well as financially, in providing support for Trump.
$47 voters
Musk’s push for support doesn’t stop there. A new method has been developed to increase voter registration in critical states: $47 payments will be made to people who complete their voter registration. The effort aims to increase turnout, especially in key states where the outcome of the election will be decisive. The proposal suggests that Musk aims to develop a strategy for active participation on the ground that doesn’t just consist of financial support.
Trump-Musk partnership
Trump had said in a statement in recent months that he would give Musk a position in his cabinet if he were re-elected. This promise is thought to have increased Musk’s support for the campaign. The US presidential race is currently a fiercely contested one between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump. According to recent polls, the two candidates are neck and neck, and it is said that Musk’s move could give Trump’s campaign new momentum.
It is eagerly awaited to see how effective Elon Musk’s strategic and financial moves will be during the election process. However, one thing is certain: Musk is on stage as an active player in this election, not just a spectator.
