Elon Musk has made a significant donation to former President Donald Trump’s campaign as he becomes increasingly critical of President Joe Biden.
The tech billionaire reportedly donated a “sizable amount” to the political group America PAC, which is working to elect Trump.
Although the amount donated was not initially disclosed, the PAC is scheduled to release its list of donors on July 17.
In March, Trump met with wealthy donors, including Musk. However, following the meeting, the X founder said that he would not donate to any presidential candidate.
Since then, Musk has been vocal about his disapproving opinion of Biden.
In recent months, he has ramped up criticism of the president’s immigration policies, which have resulted in thousands of illegal aliens entering the U.S.
“Dems won’t deport because every illegal is a highly likely vote at some point," Musk wrote on X following the death of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal immigrant.
The goal all along has been to import as many illegal voters as possible https://t.co/wQzyx6VAWD
