Trump ally behind 'mysterious group' that dumped millions in last days of campaign: report

New campaign filings reveal that Elon Musk, one of Donald Trump's most ardent supporters during the 2024 election cycle, is behind a mysterious campaign group that ran pro-Trump ads in the final weeks leading up to Election Day, according to reports.

The connection between Musk and the group – RBG PAC – had not been publicly disclosed until Thursday night when Federal Election Commission filings revealed its funding, according to The Washington Post. The online ads paid for by Musk and the group sought to convince voters that Trump would not sign a national abortion ban, the publication noted.

According to the filings, the Elon Musk Revocable Trust poured $20.5 million into the group’s coffers in the days leading up to the Nov. 5 election – its sole disclosed donor, according to the Post. The RBG PAC is an apparent reference to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

But the report added that Ginsburg’s granddaughter, Clara Spera, previously denounced the group in a statement where she said that RBG PAC “has no connection to the Ginsburg family and is an affront to my late grandmother’s legacy.”

But the money that Musk, who Trump tapped to lead a government-wide task force to cut spending and personnel, dumped into RBG PAC was just “a small fraction” of his total political spending for the year, according to Politico.

“In total, the richest person in the world plowed more than $260 million into the 2024 election, making him likely the single largest individual political donor of the cycle,” Politico added.

The publication noted that the RBG PAC spent nearly all of its money on advertising, which featured women on Facebook and YouTube discussing Trump’s recent promise of not signing a national abortion ban into law if elected.
