Elon Musk Plans $100 Million Donation to Trump-Aligned Political Groups
The unprecedented move follows a contentious relationship between Musk and Trump, with recent collaborations raising ethical concerns.
- Elon Musk reportedly intends to donate $100 million to two Trump-affiliated political groups, Make America Great Again Inc. and Securing American Greatness, as first reported by The New York Times.
- This donation is unprecedented, as Musk holds a part-time government role while contributing to the political apparatus of the sitting president.
- The decision comes after Trump hosted a Tesla promotional event at the White House, where he publicly endorsed the company’s vehicles.
- Musk’s actions, including influencing government decisions and dismantling federal agencies, have raised concerns about his growing power and its implications for U.S. governance.
- Critics have highlighted the ethical and legal challenges of Musk’s dual role as a federal employee and political donor, with fears of unchecked influence over national policy.
