Palantir’s Joe Lonsdale and cryptocurrency billionaires Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are major donors to a super PAC supporting Donald Trump that is also backed by Elon Musk, Odaily reported.
America PAC raised $8.8 million in the second quarter, spent $7.8 million and had just under $1 million in cash at the beginning of July, according to its most recent filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Musk did not donate until July, according to people familiar with the matter, so he was not included in the report, which covers donations from the committee's creation on May 22 through the end of June.
Lonsdale donated $1 million through his company, Lonsdale Enterprises Inc. The Winklevoss brothers each gave $250,000. Other donors included Joe Craft, CEO of Alliance Resource Partners, who gave $1 million. His wife, Kelly Craft, served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration. The donations show that Trump's support is growing among big donors in the technology and financial sectors.
