PANews reported on October 3 that according to Jinshi, four people familiar with the matter revealed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has secretly funded a conservative political group in recent years, indicating that before the billionaire entrepreneur supported Trump's re-election campaign in July, he had secretly provided financial support for right-wing causes. Two people familiar with the matter said that Musk's donations to the "Building America's Future" organization began in 2022, with a total of millions of dollars in donations, which greatly boosted the morale of the organization. However, it is currently impossible to determine the exact amount and timeline of the donations, nor can any documents be found that link the organization's finances to Musk. Earlier on Wednesday local time, it was reported that Musk had also funded other pro-Republican groups.
