X owner Elon Musk has pledged that he will give a new super PAC supporting former President Donald Trump tens of millions of dollars per month. The Wall Street Journal reported Musk that is committing to giving $45 million a month to America PAC. Other major backers of the PAC include Palantir Technologies co-founder Joe Lonsdale, the Winklevoss twins, former U.S. ambassador Kelly Craft and her husband, Joe Craft, who is the CEO of Alliance Resource Partners, the report said. The political action committee is focused on “registering voters and persuading constituents to vote early and request mail-in ballots in swing states,” the report said, adding that the group wanted to neutralize the massive advantage Democrats have had for years with their “get out the vote” campaigns. Lonsdale has aggressively pushed his network of powerful entrepreneurs to give to the group, The New York Times reported.  Some of the major contributions that group has received so far include $1 million from Lonsdale’s personal company, $1 million from SpaceX board director Antonio Gracias, $1 million from early PayPal executive Ken Howery, and $500,000 from Sequoia Capital investor Shaun Maguire. Musk officially endorsed Trump over the weekend just after a 20-year-old would-be assassin shot and injured Trump at a political rally in Pennsylvania. “I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” Musk posted.

I came to this decision some time ago as many @X followers have already understood from my supportive posts of Trump and my criticisms of @POTUS Biden.”

MSNBC host Joy Reid said on Monday that she had very real concerns about the aftermath of Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump — namely that media would “acquiesce” and allow Trump to “rewrite himself” as a sympathetic victim. Reid made the comments during a panel discussion that included fellow MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace along with former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, and she said people she’d talked to were afraid that media would allow Americans to forget that Trump was “the greatest purveyor and promoter of political violence … since George Wallace.” WATCH: Joy Reid fears that, after the assassination attempt on Trump, “the media will acquiesce” to Republicans and not label Trump “the greatest purveyor and promoter of political violence…since George Wallace.” She doesn’t want Trump to “rewrite himself as a victim.” pic.twitter.com/f5QSVcYwkO — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 15, 2024 “The universal kind of reaction that I am getting, whether from civilians or you know professionals, is really a deep concern and lack of confidence in — not us at this table or us at MSNBC, but us as the media write large — and fear that what’s going to happen now … is that the media will acquiesce to trying to convince people that the thing they’ve been experiencing you know for the last five, six years didn’t happen,” Reid explained. “That the greatest purveyor and promoter of political violence, really you know since anyone can remember, since George Wallace, I think, you know that we just haven’t experienced this kind of open you know sort of citing, or incitement of violence or sort of luxuriating in the idea of violence.” Reid then claimed that people were expressing concern that media would not “be the guardians of memory” and would “allow Donald Trump, as he’s you know bathed in the glory and grandeur of his party to rewrite himself as both a hero and a victim that people who are the most vulnerable to not just the things he’s done but the things he’s promising to do, and that that will happen without a guardian saying wait, stop, and then the media will acquiesce to this rewrite.”
