Musk donated $15 million to get back in Trump's good graces: report

It has been revealed that Elon Musk donated about $15 million to President Donald Trump and Republicans. 

What's more, according to Fox News, is that Musk's motivation for doing so was to get back in Trump's good graces.

Musk and Trump, of course, had a falling out after he finished working with the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The falling out had to do with Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which Musk was not a fan of.

A $15 million reconciliation

Musk, according to Fox News, made the donation to three different "super" political action committees that are pro-Republican.

Per the outlet:

Musk, who led cost-cutting efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during Trump's first months in office, contributed $5 million each to MAGA Inc., the Senate Leadership Fund, and the Congressional Leadership Fund on June 27, Federal Election Commission filings revealed Thursday. All three are "super" political action committees that help elect Republicans.

Fox goes on to explain how "the $5 million gift to MAGA Inc. came just weeks after Musk sharply criticized the president on social media – first over Trump’s proposed 'big, beautiful bill,' which Musk warned would balloon the federal deficit, and later in a series of increasingly personal attacks."

The person attacked had to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Musk claimed that Trump is in the Epstein files.

The Epstein saga continues, as the Trump administration continues to face a backlash for not being more transparent about the Epstein files.

Trump rakes in over $1 billion

President Donald Trump continues to raise huge sums of money for Republican election efforts.

The New York Post reports that Trump has secured about $1.4 billion since the 2024 presidential election.

The outlet writes:

President Trump has secured $1.4 billion in financial commitments since winning the 2024 election — filling his war chest to help Republicans keep the House and Senate in next year’s midterms, a source close to the commander in chief told The Post Thursday. Trump started raising the funds “the day after” he defeated then-Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 47th president, this person said.

Trump has promised to use the money to help his Republican allies to achieve success in the 2026 elections.

Despite what Musk may have said about Trump, it is clear that he is still supporting Trump and Republicans.
