Elon Musk emerged as the largest political donor for the 2024 election cycle, contributing over $238 million, primarily to support Donald Trump. His funding efforts included the controversial RBG PAC, which ran ads interpreting Ruth Bader Ginsburg's stance on abortion to align with Trump's views. Musk's funding indicates an increasing trend of wealthy donors shaping political campaigns, especially as he takes on a significant advisory role in a hypothetical Trump administration aimed at cutting federal spending. The implications of Musk's financial influence on politics raise questions about ethical governance and regulatory oversight.
