Elon Musk to Donate $100 Million to Trump’s Political Operation, Says Report – wna24
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has informed the White House that he intends to donate $100 million to President Donald Trump ’s political operation.
Musk’s donation, first reported by The New York Times, is unprecedented in both size and nature. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who is technically a special government employee, had already contributed more than $250 million to a pro-Trump super PAC during the 2024 election. That made him Trump’s largest financial backer.
His continued financial support underscores his alignment with the administration’s efforts, particularly in areas such as reducing the federal workforce and cutting government agencies.
Trump’s political team has established two major fundraising organizations—MAGA Inc. and Securing America’s Greatness. It remains unclear whether Musk’s donation will go to one of these groups or another organization aligned with Trump’s agenda.
MAGA Inc. and Securing America’s Greatness are led by Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio, key strategists from Trump’s 2024 campaign. The two groups have already raised around $500 million, which will be used to expand Republican majorities in Congress and push Trump’s policy objectives forward.
Musk has increasingly become a major figure in shaping the Trump administration’s policies. He is now associated with the so-called “DOGE team,” a group advocating for significant reductions in the federal workforce and government agencies. His financial backing could further cement his role in influencing the administration’s direction.
Neither Musk nor the White House has made a comment on the reported donation, as of now. However, given Musk’s past financial contributions and public support for deregulation and government reform, his latest move signals a deepening commitment to Trump’s political agenda.
With Musk’s backing, Trump’s political machine is poised to have even greater resources to shape the Republican Party and its future policies.
