Giant personalities that dominate technology industries tend to support leftist politics. But Elon Musk, one of them, has changed political sides. He's promised to donate $45 million per month to the non-left side. It is very significant, though not nearly what Mark Zuckerberg donated back in 2020.
Like Zuckerberg's, Elon's donation will go to a political action committee (PAC) that leans in the direction he prefers. "America PAC" was formed in May to "get out the vote" among sympathetic potential voters.
Another tech leader supporting this PAC is entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale, founder of multiple companies including Palantir as well as a non-profit, the Cicero Institute. Regarding the Institute, he says "we seek to partner with . . courageous policymakers and public-spirited entrepreneurs who oppose special interests and uphold the common good."
While Musk has always been free with his opinions, he's made more political statements since 2020. He really doesn't like what's going on in California.
