Musk’s support for Trump has been evident throughout the campaign. He actively contributed at least $75 million to America PAC, which has been instrumental in mobilizing Trump’s support base. The PAC’s online platform aims to gather one million signatures from swing-state voters to endorse the First and Second Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Further bolstering his stance, Musk reportedly offered $47 to every registered voter who encouraged others to join the petition supporting free speech and gun rights. His high-profile endorsement underscores the tech mogul’s significant influence in Trump’s campaign, as Americans brace for a closely-watched election outcome.
