Musk was revealed to have been secretly funding a conservative political group in recent years

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has secretly funded a conservative political group in recent years, according to four people familiar with the matter, suggesting that the billionaire entrepreneur had been secretly providing financial support to right-wing causes before he endorsed Trump's re-election campaign in July. Two people familiar with the matter said that Musk's donations to the "Building America's Future" organization began in 2022, totaling millions of dollars, greatly boosting the morale of the organization. But it is currently impossible to determine the exact amount and timeline of the donations, and no documents can be found to link the organization's finances to Musk. Earlier on Wednesday local time, it was reported that Musk had also funded other pro-Republican groups. (Jinshi)
