Deep dives
Elon Musk's Political Shift
Elon Musk has undergone a significant political transformation, moving from supporting moderate Democratic views to becoming a vocal supporter of Donald Trump. This shift has been marked by increased criticisms of the Biden administration and active engagement in political financing, including the formation of a super PAC aimed at bolstering Trump's campaign efforts. Musk's PAC has taken substantial steps to mobilize potential voters, registering over 4,000 individuals and having extensive outreach through door knocking and voter commitment initiatives. While Trump embraces Musk's backing, there are concerns about whether a potential Trump presidency would align with policies beneficial to Musk's ventures, particularly Tesla.
