New Delhi. Donald Trump is going to become the 47th President of America. His friend Elon Musk also played an important role behind the scenes in his victory. It is being claimed in the report of Associated Press that Musk had completely opened his treasury to make the Republican Party candidate win. Musk, owner of social media site X and SpaceX company, spent a total of US$200 million to make Donald Trump win. This amount is historic for any candidate to win in the US Presidential elections.
Trump himself is a big industrialist. In such a situation, he knows very well how important it is to have the support of a big industrialist to win an election. According to reports, Elon Musk’s super PAC spent about US $ 200 million to help elect Donald Trump. It was claimed that Elon Musk’s entire campaign was focused on first-time voters. On the day of US election results, Donald Trump had said in Florida, “We have a new star. A star is born – Alan!” Trump had also made it clear by directly taking the name of Elon Musk that this American industrialist stood shoulder to shoulder with him in the election field.
Trump’s India game
In fact, even in Indian elections, the practice of funding elections from behind the scenes by industrialists is quite common. Apart from India’s main political parties Congress and BJP, big industrialists also donate heavily to regional parties. However, any businessman avoids revealing his name directly in India. This is because he does not want to be an opponent of the opposition parties. However, the situation is somewhat different in America. Trump was seen with Donald Trump during his election campaign. But no one knew that Musk could open his treasury to such an extent to make Trump win.
