(Bloomberg) -- U.S. billionaire Elon Musk has donated to a super political action committee (PAC) aiming to return former President Donald Trump to the White House.
Mr. Musk donated to a little-known group called America PAC, according to people familiar with the matter. The amount is unknown, but the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was a significant sum. The PAC is next required to disclose its donor list on July 15.
The move reflects the growing influence of Musk, a tech tycoon who tops the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a net worth of $263.6 billion (approximately 42 trillion yen). Additionally, although he had called himself an independent and said he did not want to get involved in politics, he has changed his stance to using his social media, X (formerly Twitter), to support right-leaning opinions and criticize Democratic Party members. highlight.
The Trump campaign declined to comment.
