Musk plans to give Trump's political operation $100 million
SUMMARY
Elon Musk, the Tesla titan and White House adviser, is gearing up to drop $100 million into President Trump’s political machine, according to someone in the know. It’s a jaw-dropping move—both for its size and because Musk’s technically a government employee, making this kind of cash splash unheard of. He’s already shelled out over $250 million to a pro-Trump super PAC in 2024, cementing his role as Trump’s top money man. Now, as the face of DOGE, Musk’s pushing big cuts across federal agencies. The New York Times broke the story first, and here’s the scoop: Trump’s team has two outfits—MAGA Inc. and Securing America’s Greatness—run by campaign vets Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio. Together, they’ve raked in $500 million to grow GOP midterm muscle and nudge Republicans toward Trump’s playbook. It’s unclear which group Musk’s eyeing—or if it’s a new one tied to Trump. Neither Musk’s people nor the White House chimed in Tuesday night.
