Tech billionaire Elon Musk said he plans to commit roughly $45 million each month to a new fund backing Donald Trump for US president, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The Tesla founder formally endorsed Trump’s candidature for US president on Saturday after the former president survived a shooting at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote on the social media platform X, which he acquired in 2022. In March, the two met in person during a donor breakfast hosted at the Florida residence of billionaire Nelson Peltz. Trump previously decried mail and absentee voting but has backtracked on his criticisms after it became clear Democrats had an edge among mail voters.
