America Pac said to be doing bulk of Trump’s voter turnout work in battleground states, which may give Musk leverage
Elon Musk has donated roughly $75m over the last three months to his pro-Donald Trump spending group, underscoring how the billionaire has become crucial to the Republican candidate’s efforts to win the US presidential election.
Filings submitted by America Pac on Tuesday to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) showed Musk donated $15m (£12m) in July, $30m in August and another $30m in September. Musk remains the political action committee’s only donor.
America Pac has quietly become the principal ground game partner for the Trump campaign, doing the bulk of the voter turnout work across the battleground states, according to people familiar with the matter.

Musk’s personal political views appear to have taken a sharp turn to the right this election, after previously identifying himself publicly as aligned with the Democrats. He endorsed Trump in July and appeared on stage at Trump’s second rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month.
The shift appears to have started earlier than previously known. Musk has been donating to conservative causes for years, the Wall Street Journal reported this month, giving tens of millions of dollars to rightwing groups.

I’ve read some online comments, so reader beware, that Musk & Thiel are grooming Shillbilly Vance to be the next president.
Trump is being used for his base, but once elected he’ll be put to pasture. Vance will either be pulling his strings, or outright take over.
Kinda makes sense if you consider that they’ve also been driving the narrative that Biden is a puppet and Kamala has been in charge. “Every accusation is an admission,” and all that.
good god… I’ll need to hide my couch in the cellar for a few years. (and maybe myself, too!) it isn’t safe.
