The Guardian reported on Thursday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, that Donald Trump’s voter turnout efforts in crucial battleground states are now heavily dependent on America Pac, a political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk.
According to these sources, Trump's campaign has outsourced much of its field operations to Super PACs, focusing primarily on mobilizing rural voters who typically do not vote.
America Pac is now the only significant player in Trump’s canvassing strategy, with a presence of 300 to 400 paid and part-time workers in seven key states.
Despite the campaign's previous expectations of multiple PACs assisting with voter outreach, America Pac remains the only one with a widespread effort to reach likely Trump voters through door-knocking and canvassing.
This has led to concerns within Trump's team about its over-reliance on America Pac.
America Pac has also recently faced setbacks after firing a canvassing company in Arizona and Nevada, causing delays in their outreach efforts.

The report further mentions Musk's growing influence, with sources suggesting that his involvement in the campaign could have significant implications if Trump wins.
Musk has even proposed the idea of serving in Trump's cabinet in a second term, potentially amplifying his political clout.
President Trump is literally putting his life on the line every single day for our country.

Blitz's involvement has sparked controversy due to its connections with America Pac’s leadership, leading to accusations of double-profiting.
America Pac has also subcontracted to Patriot Grassroots LLC for Pennsylvania and Georgia, and Synapse Group for Wisconsin.
