Elon Musk was one of Donald Trump’s top donors in the US election and a visible and vocal supporter of the Republican nominee.
Elon Musk spent more than $250m (£196m) helping Donald Trump win this year’s US election, Sky News’ US partner NBC News reports.
Part of this was said to include a late blitz of advertising from a super PAC into which Mr Musk poured $20m (£15.7m) that claimed Mr Trump did not support a federal abortion ban.
Previously, Mr Trump took credit for the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade.
That was only a fraction of Mr Musk’s reported total contribution to the Trump campaign.
He also financed America PAC, a super PAC that reported spending $238m (£186.7m) supporting the president-elect’s race.
The latest campaign finance report shows the billionaire donated $120m (£94m) in the final weeks of the race alone.
This money was said to have been heavily spent on canvassing, text messages, and digital advertising.
