Musk Makes Stunning Move Ahead of 2024 Elections - Trump Loves It

Elon Musk, the billionaire founder and CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and Starlink, has allegedly made a financial contribution to a group supporting former President Donald Trump, according to a report on Friday.

Bloomberg News, citing insiders, revealed that Musk’s undisclosed donation was given to America PAC, a pro-Trump super PAC. The PAC is expected to disclose its donors on July 17.

Although Musk has not publicly endorsed a candidate for the 2024 election, he has increasingly voiced his political opinions on X.

Leading up to the election, Musk criticized President Biden’s immigration policies on X, which echoed conservative viewpoints.

In September, Musk visited the U.S.-Mexico border at Eagle Pass, Texas, and described the situation as “beyond insane and growing fast.” He has also been vocal against President Joe Biden and his administration following the murder of University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant.

“Dems won’t deport, because every illegal is a highly likely vote at some point,” Musk posted on X. “That simple incentive explains what seems to be insane behavior. It has become so brazen that a gang of illegals can beat up police officers on camera in Times Square, get out of jail for free and still not get deported!”

Earlier, Musk had announced on X that he would not be financially supporting either candidate. “Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President,” he wrote.

Musk’s reported donation aligns with the announcement from Make America Great Again Inc., a leading super PAC, which raised an impressive $104 million during the April-June second quarter of 2024 for Trump’s campaign.

Following the recent debate between Trump and Biden, Musk suggested it was merely political theater. Responding to a post by billionaire venture capitalist David Sacks on X, Musk commented: “They’re just talking puppets. It was a setup for a switch.”

During a CNN segment on Friday, University of Virginia Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato stated that the race between Biden and Trump is “no longer close.” He dismissed the idea that Biden could significantly narrow the gap through interviews or rallies.

“I don’t think [President Biden] can change the dynamic with one interview,” Sabato said. “I suppose you’d say stop the bleeding and the bleeding has been bad. I mean, we’ve been looking at all the data coming in, all the surveys — some public, some private — and it’s bad. Democrats need to understand that things are not stable and it is no longer close. The race between Biden and Trump is no longer close.”

“Just take the four last week, including CNN’s poll — all of them were in agreement, which you rarely see even with well-conducted polls: Biden, who was really maybe even, maybe two points behind Trump, is now — at least in unison in these polls — six points behind,” Sabato added. “That’s millions and millions of voters. And what is it that’s going to restore them? A good interview, a good rally? Come on.”

Meanwhile, Biden has declared his intention to stay in the presidential race against Trump, but this does not seem to align with voter sentiment.

A Rasmussen Reports poll released on Friday indicated grim prospects for both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The poll found that 55 percent of respondents want the president to withdraw from the presidential election. Additionally, 50 percent believe Democrats should select someone other than Harris as his replacement.

“Importantly, nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters at least somewhat agree that Biden should step aside and let the Democratic Party choose another candidate,” the poll stated.

Another poll from Cygnal also presented bleak news for Democrats, as voters harshly criticized the president’s debate performance and showed little confidence in the vice president.

“Post-debate, we’ve seen the largest single month-over-month movement towards Republicans across-the-board, from R+0 to R+4, in the history of our national polling,” Cygnal President Brent Buchanan said. “President Biden’s image worsened to 62% having an unfavorable view of him after 67% of respondents said they watched his disastrous debate performance.”

“Trump’s performance earned him 4 points of undecided debate-watchers and another 3 points from those who were Biden supporters heading into the debate. There’s little question this has further eroded the political environment for Democrats,” he added.
