Musk’s Pro-Trump PAC Has So Far Spent $5.8 Million

The New Republic reports:

Elon Musk is pouring his heart and soul (and cold hard cash) into electing Donald Trump this November. New Federal Election Commission filings on Wednesday show that Musk’s pro-Trump America PAC has ramped up its operations, spending an initial $5.8 million.

Musk initially seemed to promise a monthly donation of $45 million to the Super PAC, then in July told Jordan Peterson that the rumor “is simply not true.”

He did donate to the PAC last month, but the amount will remain unknown until the political action committee’s next quarterly report with the FEC in October. Put another way, we currently know very little about how much Musk is spending to influence the November election.

As promised, FEC reports indicate that Elon Musk’s super PAC has started fielding a pro-Trump ground game, which – thanks to the @FEC’s inexplicably bad decision to allow super PAC coordination w/r/t canvassing – can be coordinated with Trump’s campaign. https://t.co/437Gef1bZV
