Tech billionaire Elon Musk has said he plans to donate approximately $45m each month to a new super political-action committee (Super PAC) supporting Donald Trump‘s election bid, according to a United States media report.

Musk’s donations will go to a group dubbed America PAC, which will focus on supporting Trump by promoting voter registration, early voting and mail-in ballots among residents in swing states ahead of the November general election, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter.

Musk formally endorsed Trump’s candidacy for US president on Saturday after the former president survived a shooting at a political rally in Pennsylvania.

“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk wrote on the social media platform X, which he acquired in 2022 when it was known as Twitter.

According to the report, Musk plans to start donating next month.
