Billionaire Elon Musk, a strong supporter of former President Trump, has recently established the “America PAC” to raise campaign funds for Trump, and is now recruiting staff across the United States to visit swing-state voters to persuade them to support Trump and Republican candidates vying for congressional seats.
After Republican presidential candidate Trump (Donald Trump) was shot in Pennsylvania, Musk has increased his support for him significantly.
These positions are funded by the America PAC and recruiting is taking place in 16 states. Recruits will be visiting key cities and towns in swing states, as well as competitive districts in congressional elections such as Grand Rapids in Michigan and Poughkeepsie in New York, to mobilize voters to participate in voting and run digital ads.
According to job descriptions, staff visiting voters will assist in registering new voters, collecting data, conducting community outreach activities, and providing event support.
According to the committee’s website, “America PAC is dedicated to increasing voter turnout, supporting candidates advocating for individual freedom, school choice, and upholding America’s fundamental values. Our goal is to resist progressive policies by promoting voter participation and advocating for a free-market environment.”
The site notes that “staff will promote our mission to support candidates who uphold freedom of speech, free markets, and who prioritize meritocracy.” “Your work will help mobilize voters, ensure that the voices advocating for individual freedom and economic opportunity are heard loud and clear.”
Musk established America PAC in May this year, before which he only made small donations to federal candidates.
In an interview with psychologist and conservative commentator Dr. Jordan Peterson, Musk explained that America PAC aims to promote the principles that make America great. He said, “I wouldn’t say I’m a MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporter because I believe America is already great. I lean more towards supporting M-A-G, Make America Greater.”
Musk stated that the Republican Party is not perfect, he does not endorse “personality cults,” but he praised Trump for showing “true courage” during a rally in Pennsylvania when he was shot. He believes that voting for the Republicans rather than the Democrats in the election this November is wiser, saying, “I think it’s time for a change in government.”
On X, he wrote, “The key values of America PAC are supporting meritocracy and individual freedom. Most Republicans stand on the side of achievement and freedom, but not everyone.”
