Elon Musk revealed as sole funder of RBG Pac that claimed Trump and Ginsburg were aligned
Musk bolstered Pac with $20.5m ahead of election while late supreme court justice’s family denounced it as ‘appalling’
Summary
Elon Musk was revealed as the sole funder of the RBG Pac, donating $20.5M to promote misleading claims that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg aligned with Donald Trump on abortion.
The PAC’s ads, denounced as deceptive by Ginsburg’s family, aimed to counter Democratic criticism of Trump’s abortion stance.
Musk’s political spending for the 2024 election exceeded $260M, including major contributions to Trump and RFK Jr.
