Axios - Elon Musk has told the White House he plans to give $100 million to President Trump's political operation, according to a person familiar with his plans. The contribution is unheard of in both amount and type: Musk, who is technically a special government employee, is the world's richest person.
- Musk donated more than $250 million to a pro-Trump super PAC during the 2024 election campaign. That made Musk Trump's biggest financial booster.
- Now, he is the face of the DOGE team that's driving the Trump administration's huge cuts to the federal workforce and agencies.
The Hill - Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) slammed Elon Musk for calling him “a traitor” for visiting Ukraine, comparing his track record to the billionaire’s, who Kelly said has only sworn an “oath to his own checking account.” “I served in the United States Navy for 25 years. I spent 15 years at NASA, risking my life flying the space shuttle,” Kelly said during a Monday appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.”
“And the only oath I can think of that maybe Elon has sworn is an oath to his own checking account, to his pocketbook, an oath, maybe, to ruining the lives of veterans,” he added. Musk has come under growing criticism for his efforts to slash staffing and spending within the federal bureaucracy, under the authority of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
