Billionaire Elon Musk has emerged as the largest political donor in recent U.S. history, contributing over $270 million during Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Musk donated approximately $238 million via his political organization, America PAC, with additional funds following the FEC’s initial cutoff. His donations surpass those of fellow donor Tim Mellon by over $80 million. Following his financial support, Trump appointed Musk to lead a commission aimed at government efficiency, raising concerns over potential conflicts of interest due to Musk’s business interests.
