Elon Musk Emerging To Be Vital Presence At Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago Following US Election Win
ABP NewsDonald Trump's Florida club Mar-a-Lago has been buzzing with individuals eager to secure roles in his upcoming administration or to push forward their preferred candidates. On the political front, Musk has thrown his weight into the ongoing GOP Senate leadership dispute, backing Senator Rick Scott after Scott endorsed Trump’s stance on recess appointments for his nominees, a move intended to bypass potential Congressional gridlock. While the idea of Musk leading a federal efficiency commission was floated, reports suggest Musk’s role will likely remain advisory, allowing him to maintain leadership over his businesses without the constraints of public office. Federal Election Commission records reveal that by mid-October, Musk had contributed close to $119 million to a political action committee aligned with Trump. Investors responded favourably to Musk's backing of Trump, as Tesla shares surged nearly 15% after the election, marking a two-year high and boosting Musk’s personal stock holdings by approximately $15 billion.
