The businessman plans to invest at least $100 million in the political campaign.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who had promised to declare the Strait of Hormuz U.S. territory, and billionaire Elon Musk have reconciled a year after their high-profile conflict: the businessman is ready to spend at least $100 million to help the Republicans. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal .
It is noted that Musk plans to invest at least $100 million in a voter mobilization campaign ahead of the midterm congressional elections. According to the publication’s sources, Trump and the billionaire now speak on the phone about once a month, although the president does not expect their relationship to become as close as it once was.
Vice President J.D. Vance and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles played a key role in restoring the relationship. Musk’s decision to abandon plans to form his own political party also helped bring them closer. At the same time, he intends to maintain a lower public profile in politics than he did during the 2024 campaign.
