Elon Musk, owner of companies including SpaceX and Tesla, donated to the America PAC foundation, which supports former U.S. President Donald Trump's election campaign. The donation amount was not disclosed, but unofficial reports suggest a "significant amount." The agency claims that, in this way, Musk wants to "leave a mark on the U.S. political landscape." Musk himself has not commented on these reports.
America PAC can receive unlimited donations, but it is required to disclose its list of donors by July 15. Bloomberg recalls that in March of this year, 78-year-old Trump, who is expected to be formally nominated as the Republican Party candidate in next November's presidential election, met with Musk and other wealthy donors.
Elon Musk, born in South Africa and one of the wealthiest people in the world with an estimated fortune of over 200 billion dollars, reportedly stated at that time that the United States needs the Republican Party in power; otherwise, "America will be finished."
U.S. elections: Biden does not want to step down
The U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 5. Donald Trump is likely to compete against the incumbent President Joe Biden, who declared at a pre-election meeting in Detroit on Friday that he does not intend to step down from running for the highest office in the country.
Biden has been called on by some Democrats and their supporters to step down over the past two weeks. This includes actor and film producer George Clooney.
Clooney stated that "none of us can win" the war with time, referring to 81-year-old Biden's struggles. - It is devastating that I say this, but Joe Biden, whom I was with three weeks ago at a fundraiser, was not the Biden of 2010. He was not even Joe Biden from 2020. He was the same man we all saw during the debate - wrote the star in an op-ed published in "The New York Times".
