Elon Musk plans to contribute about $45 million monthly to a new political committee supporting former President Donald Trump in his presidential campaign. This financial support comes amidst heightened tensions following an apparent assassination attempt on Trump at a Pennsylvania rally. The attack, which occurred just days before Trump was to accept the Republican nomination for the third time, involved a barrage of gunfire, leading to Trump being shot in the upper part of his right ear. Despite the chaos and panic among attendees, Trump, bloodied but defiant, was quickly surrounded by Secret Service agents and escorted to safety.
In response to the incident, Trump’s campaign reassured the public that he is doing “fine.” The unexpected violence at the rally has amplified the already intense political atmosphere. Elon Musk’s reaction to the attack was swift and supportive, stating that he “fully” backs Trump. Musk’s endorsement and financial support signal a significant shift in the dynamics of the upcoming election, hinting at a potentially influential role for the billionaire in the political arena.
