Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has significantly increased his involvement in Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, marking a dramatic shift from his previous stance on politics.

As reported by Axios on Saturday, Musk, who once claimed he would refrain from making political donations, has now funneled tens of millions into supporting Trump's re-election efforts.

America PAC contributions

Musk's financial backing, estimated at around $80 million through his America PAC, is part of a broader strategy to assist Trump in critical areas, including voter outreach and digital advocacy. His growing influence in the campaign also includes regular communication with the former president, contributing to get-out-the-vote initiatives in key battleground states.

Some reports even suggest Musk may personally engage in canvassing efforts.

This development follows Musk's earlier statements that he would not financially contribute to any presidential campaigns, citing a desire to remain neutral. However, since July, when Trump was attacked during a rally, Musk has taken a much more active role in supporting his candidacy.

His super PAC has also extended its reach by backing Republican House campaigns across the country, amplifying his political footprint.

Attacks on Democrats

In addition to financial contributions, Musk has used his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), to openly promote Trump and criticize his opponents. He has shared far-right conspiracy theories and voiced disapproval of Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, further aligning himself with Trump's platform.

Musk's increasing involvement has raised questions about his potential role in a future Trump administration.

He has joked about the legal consequences he might face if Trump loses, but a victory could see Musk assume a high-profile position within the government.
