As Elon Musk ramps up his $1 million-a-day support for Donald Trump, what appears to be a record of progressive harassment of his many companies may explain how the world’s richest man went all-in for Republicans.
Musk’s transformation from a politically unengaged tech billionaire to mega-donor and avid campaigner has earned him the ire of Democrats who have derided “disinformation” on his X platform and suggest he is violating the law in his support for Trump.
Undeterred, Musk, touting his most recent effort over the weekend, announced that his Trump-supporting Save America PAC would give away $1 million a day to people who sign an online petition pledging support for the First and Second Amendments.
To date, the multibillionaire has reportedly dumped $75 million of his own cash into the political action committee to support Trump’s third bid for the presidency. He has also joined the candidate on the campaign trail and is holding events in swing state Pennsylvania, becoming a de facto surrogate for the former president.
