The X platform owner previously served as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and left the White House in May to comply with his limited term as a special government employee.

esla founder Elon Musk gave $5 million to the MAGA Inc. super PAC in late June amid his public disagreements with President Donald Trump and a series of high-profile exchanges.

Musk also gave $5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund and Congressional Leadership Fund, The Hill reported, citing campaign finance filings. The late June donations came as Trump and Musk have generally backed off from attacking one another in public.

The X platform owner previously served as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and left the White House in May to comply with his limited term as a special government employee.

He has, however, expressed considerable frustration with the GOP and Trump himself over budget-related matters and even announced the formation of the "America Party" to fight for stronger budgeting.

But Musk has generally returned to his operations at X and Tesla and has largely opted to promote new developments at the companies.
