"Since spring, Musk has quietly spent an hour every Friday on his new career: national politics." On August 12, the Wall Street Journal broke the details of American entrepreneur Musk's support for Trump, saying that Musk's team proposed to mobilize 800,000 swing state voters to vote for Trump and provide about $160 million in financial support.

The Wall Street Journal commented that the establishment of the America PAC was Musk's first foray into "presidential politics," and it was not as groundbreaking as sending humans to Mars or implanting microchips in the brain. But the billionaire's full support for Trump and the Republican Party ignited the enthusiasm of other well-known donors. He also received Trump's thanks.

According to previous reports, on July 13, local time, when Trump was holding a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, a shooting occurred at the scene and Trump was escorted away by Secret Service personnel. Musk later posted on social media that he fully supports Trump. On July 20, Republican presidential candidate Trump mentioned American entrepreneur Elon Musk during a speech at a campaign rally in Michigan, saying that he "has always maintained a good relationship with Musk."

Other media reported that Musk and Trump had a live conversation on social platform X on August 12. The live broadcast was delayed due to a "large-scale DDoS attack" on the platform. The British "Guardian" said that the conversation took place after being delayed for more than 40 minutes.
