The US has announced the amount that Elon Musk spent to support Donald Trump.
The richest man on Earth has shelled out more than $250 million for the presidential race.
This information was shared by the New York Times newspaper, which received the relevant federal documents.
It is noted that the billionaire has repeatedly expressed support for Donald Trump, although he has previously criticized both Republicans and Democrats.
Over time, Musk's views became increasingly right-wing, and he began to openly support Trump.
According to NYT estimates, the businessman invested about a quarter of a billion dollars in the election race.
According to the media, such a staggering figure will inevitably affect the formation of the new presidential administration after Trump’s inauguration.
It is noted that this amount also includes $20 million that Musk donated to a political action committee.
The organization is named after Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who once helped Donald Trump with his stance on abortion.
