X owner Elon Musk has donated a whopping $75 million to US Presidential Election candidate Donald Trump for his campaigning expenses, but it seems like someone has defeated the world's richest man. An Israeli-American physician and businesswoman has one up on Elon Musk as she became the biggest donor to Donald Trump. Miriam Adelson has fulfilled her promise of donating $100 million to the former US President.
Miriam Adelson’s relationship with Donald Trump has been marked by ups and downs, but her strong commitment to Trumpism is evident in recent financial disclosures. Despite occasional tensions with the former President, Adelson fulfilled her promise to back him during the general election. She contributed $25 million each month to the pro-Trump super PAC, Preserve America, in July, August, and early September, followed by an additional $20 million later in September.

These contributions came on top of the $5 million she had already donated earlier in the year.
Elon Musk's Donation
Elon Musk, the world’s richest individual and head of Tesla and X, has made a notable investment of $75 million into America PAC, a super political action committee (PAC) he founded earlier in the year. While this is a substantial contribution, it was somewhat lower than the $100 million some insiders expected Musk to contribute between July and September. Many believed that, given his resources and influence, Musk would push his donations higher during this crucial period.
America PAC is one of the most ambitious political initiatives of this election cycle, spearheaded by Musk and a close-knit group of influential tech billionaires. The PAC is focused on establishing a voter canvassing operation that functions independently from Donald Trump’s campaign, allowing them to mobilize voters on their own terms. Musk’s strategy for the PAC has been carefully planned.
He intentionally delayed making any donations before July 1, ensuring that his contributions would not appear in public records until October, allowing for more strategic timing. His first recorded donation to the super PAC came in at $5 million on July 3, with the rest of his donations following in increments over the next few months.
