It became known why Musk paid Trump a record amount Elon Musk became the main donor of the Republicans: in two years he invested 759 million dollars in the party - more than George Soros gave to the Democrats in his entire life. Musk himself does not aspire to politics, experts say: he buys the preferences promised by Trump - probably new contracts with the Pentagon and NASA. Political scientist Marat Bashirov is sure: the billionaire protects the interests of the US industrial sector, not financial speculators. In fact, we are talking about a double competition between two models of influence. But it won't do without personal gain for Musk.
