While Elon Musk has not officially endorsed any candidate for the 2024 presidential race, he has become increasingly vocal about his political views on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter. In recent months, Musk has openly criticised President Joe Biden's immigration policies and expressed strong support for conservative positions by throwing his massive social media clout behind the Conservative 'influencers'.
Notably, last September, Musk visited the US-Mexico border at Eagle Pass, Texas, and described the immigration situation as "beyond insane and growing fast."
His criticism extended to the Biden administration following the tragic killing of Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley in Athens, Georgia, by an undocumented migrant.

That simple incentive explains what seems to be insane behaviour. It has become so brazen that a gang of illegals can beat up police officers on camera in Times Square, get out of jail for free and still not get deported!"
Interestingly, in March, Musk had stated on X that he had no plans to financially support any presidential candidate. "Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President," he wrote.
Musk's reported donation coincides with a substantial fundraising period for Trump's campaign. Make America Great Again Inc., a leading super PAC, announced it had raised $104 million during the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, Trump's campaign, together with the Republican National Committee, reported a combined total of $331 million raised over the past three months. This surpasses President Biden's re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee which reportedly raised $264 million in the same period.
