Elon Musk's financial contributions, totaling about $200 million through America Pac, showcased a new era of billionaire influence in U.S. elections, targeting low-propensity voters effectively.
The Federal Election Commission's ruling in March permitted Super Pacs to coordinate efforts with campaigns, significantly enhancing the Trump campaign's capacity to mobilize resources and increase voter turnout.
James Blair, the Trump campaign's political director, emphasized Musk's impact, stating, 'The FEC ruling cleared the way for us to gain more benefit from soft money enterprises...'
Trump credited Musk's fundraising efforts at his election night party, proclaiming, 'We have a new star, Trump said at his election night party in Florida. A star is born Elon!.'
