Elon Musk's Secret Funding Boosts Conservative Group's Revenue
Elon Musk has secretly funded the conservative group Building America's Future, significantly increasing its revenue. The group's campaigns have attacked the Biden administration and received millions from Musk starting in 2022. While Musk publicly endorses Trump, his financial support for right-wing causes predates this endorsement.
Elon Musk has quietly funded the conservative political group Building America's Future, according to four sources familiar with the matter. The donations, which began in 2022, have significantly bolstered the group's revenue from $11 million in 2021 to $53 million in 2022.
Building America's Future has used these funds to attack the Biden administration on multiple fronts, despite Musk publicly claiming neutrality in U.S. politics.
While Musk has yet to confirm or deny these contributions, the group's recent advertising campaigns have notably targeted Vice President Kamala Harris, raising questions about Musk's political leanings.
