Elon Musk Has Been Funding Trumps Anti-Immigrant Mastermind
Long gone are the innocent days when media outlets claimed the independence and nuance of the politics of Elon Musk. Now, amid myriad X posts spreading far-right propaganda on immigrants, trans people, and, well, just about any other topic, it has become obvious where one of the richest men in the world stands.
This week, there was more proof that Musk has put his money where his mouth has been. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Musk poured tens of millions of dollars into Republican campaigns and conservative groups even before he publicly endorsed Donald Trump in July. Conservatives helped conceal Musks contributions through so-called social welfare or dark money groups that do not have to disclose their donors and can raise unlimited funds. (Musk did not respond to the Journals request for comment.)
One piece of reporting stood out. The newspaper found that the tech billionaire donated more than $50 million in 2022 for campaign advertisements by Citizens for Sanity, a group connected to former Trump aide Stephen Miller and his non-profit America First Legal, which bills itself as the long-awaited answer to the ACLU.

Elon Musk has been sending millions of dollars to GOP-aligned groups for years
Elon Musk was reportedly giving tens of millions of dollars to conservative political causes years before he made headlines this summer for creating a pro-Trump political action committee.
Beginning in 2022, the X billionaire funneled an estimated $60m to groups affiliated with former Trump adviser Stephen Miller and 2024 candidate and Florida governor Ron DeSantis, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter.
The donations came from a Musk-affiliated limited-liability company. They were sent to so-called dark money 501(c)(4) political groups, which dont have to disclose their donors and can raise unlimited amounts of money from people and companies, per the paper.
