Musk's support for Trump
Musk moved to Pennsylvania, the most important state from the point of view of the current election results, and invested a total of at least $140-190 million in a Trump-supporting campaign committee (the so-called SuperPAC called America PAC), although Trump himself allegedly told people in his circle that Musk supported him with half a billion dollars.
As reported by “NYT”, many Democrats fear that Musk will use his X account, which has over 200 million followers, to spread false information about the electoral process. Various unverified information had previously appeared on his account, misleading people. One of the examples given by “NYT” was an entry in which Musk published data from early voting, which suggested that Trump had gained a huge advantage, among others. in Pennsylvania.
In addition to declaring support and allocating a large amount of money to Trump's presidential campaign, the billionaire organized a lottery in which he gives away one million dollars every day to voters in key states who have signed his political petition in favor of freedom of speech and the right to possess weapons.
