NJ.com -- Tech billionaire Elon Musk last year rose to become one of the most influential figures in Donald Trumps MAGA orbit and shelled out $280 million to help the Republican win back the White House.
Theres also a political fundraising committee from Musks aerospace firm that has given thousands to other candidates from both parties including two of the top Democrats now running for New Jersey governor, an NJ Advance Media analysis found.
U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill and political action committees supporting her received about $31,500 from SpaceXs corporate PAC as Sherrill ran to keep her seat in Congress from 2019 to 2024, federal campaign records show.
U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer received $2,500 from the companys PAC last November, just before he won another term.
