Elon Musk Behind Pro-Trump Group That Invoked Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Part Of $250 Million Spending Blitz

The world’s richest man spent more than a quarter billion dollars to reinstall Trump in the White House, according to recent FEC filings.

Elon Musk spent more than $250 million to help elect Donald Trump, according to campaign finance reports released on Thursday, including a late boost of $20 million to a super PAC that invoked the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Federal filings detail how Musk — the world’s richest man — spent mammoth amounts to support Trump’s successful bid for the White House. Most of that funding was sent to his pro-Trump super PAC, America PAC, which received a total of $238 million. But Musk also spent more than $40 million on checks to voters in swing states, part of his controversial, $1 million giveaways, The New York Times reported.

One of the most revealing filings shows how the billionaire backed a group called RBG PAC with a $20.5 million donation on Oct. 24, just weeks before the November election. The group has a webpage honoring Ginsburg, a major judicial advocate for abortion protections, and spent millions running ads featuring Trump’s pledges to oppose a federal abortion ban should he be elected to reassure voters.

“Great Minds Think Alike,” the website reads, which features a photo of both Trump and Ginsburg.

The group’s donors were not known until the Thursday filings with the FEC.
