Elon Musk to give Trump campaign jaw-dropping funding boost
Billionaire Elon Musk plans to donate around $US45 million a month to a new pro-Trump super political-action committee, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The X owner aims to support former President Trump's presidential campaign through the America PAC.
Formed in June, America PAC focuses on voter registration and encouraging early voting and mail-in ballots in swing states.
Despite plans to start donations in July, Musk was not listed in the PAC's Monday filing, which shows over $US8 million raised.
Donors include Lonsdale Enterprises ($US1 million) and the Winklevoss Twins ($US250,000 each).
Saturday saw Musk publicly endorsing Trump, hours after the former president was shot in the ear at a campaign rally.
The move cements Musk's shift towards right-wing politics and aligns him as a high-profile backer in Trump's White House bid.
