Elon Musk, America PAC, and United States of America, Inc.
Elon Musk’s America PAC was the central vehicle for his unprecedented financial and operational support of Donald Trump and other conservative candidates in 2024. United States of America, Inc., registered by Musk in Texas, served as a major recipient of America PAC funds, suggesting a close operational relationship, though the exact nature of its activities remains opaque.
By far, America PAC's biggest expense was a $40.5 million payment to United States of America, Inc.
