Exclusive: Musk funded right-wing political non-profit years before he endorsed Trump, sources say
In a revelation that has sent ripples through political circles, it has come to light that Elon Musk has been quietly supporting a conservative political organization, Building America’s Future, over recent years. This was happening well before his public endorsement of former President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign in July. Four individuals who are familiar with Musk’s financial activities have confirmed these donations, highlighting the billionaire’s discreet backing of causes aligned with right-wing ideologies.
Two sources close to the donations revealed that Musk began his financial contributions to Building America’s Future as early as 2022. A third source corroborated this and disclosed that the total donations amounted to millions, providing a substantial boost to the organization. The group’s campaigns have consistently targeted the Biden administration and progressive policies, resonating with Musk’s increasingly vocal criticism of such political frameworks.
While the exact figures and a detailed timeline of Musk’s contributions remain unclear, and there has been no documentation explicitly linking the organization’s finances to him, this development paints a broader picture of his political engagements. This latest information follows similar reports revealing Musk’s financial support for other pro-Republican groups.
Requests for comments directed at Musk and representatives of Building America’s Future have gone unanswered, leaving questions about the full extent and motivations behind these donations.
