Elon Musk donated $15 million in July, $30 million in August, and another $30 million in September. He is the only donor to the committee, documents from the US Federal Election Commission show.
America Pac has become a key player in Trump's campaign by pushing to mobilize voting in key states. The organization has more than 400 campaign workers per state, outnumbering both Trump's own campaign and other voter engagement groups.
If Trump's victory were to be attributed to America Pac's efforts, Musk could gain increased influence over Trump, as he has previously hinted that Musk could get a seat in his cabinet in a possible second term.
Elon Musk has increased his personal involvement in Trump's campaign, including by announcing that he will give a speech in Pennsylvania, a crucial state before the election. Earlier this year, Musk publicly expressed his support for Trump, having previously identified as a Democrat.
