Just like that, Musk popped up back in Washington D.C. A freshly coiffed, tuxedoed Musk reappeared at a glitzy White House dinner last night, working the room alongside everyone from the Saudi crown prince to soccer sar Cristiano Ronaldo. His reappearing act comes at a convenient time for MAGA.
Trump seems to think boatloads of money could solve his problems. And that’s what Musk can deliver.
Musk spent almost $300 million to help elect Trump last year. He later spent millions more on a futile effort to influence other elections. He’s likely to make more contributions in next year’s midterms, according to the New York Times. Unlike earlier this year, Musk’s checkbook truly knows no bounds: He’s on track to become the world’s first trillionaire, thanks to a deal with Tesla shareholders.
Trump is going full-throttle with a scheme of his own. Even before starting his second term, Trump began raising as much money as he could to stuff his own personal political coffers. That’s extremely unusual for a lame duck president, but his intentions soon became public: He plans to use some of the money — reportedly approaching $2 billion — to boost MAGA candidates across the country.
