Tech billionaire Elon Musk has quietly donated a “very significant” amount of his own money directly to a PAC that is reaching out to Hispanic voters before the 2024 presidential election, Fox News has learned.
Musk donated to a PAC called The Hispanic Voters Alliance, which is canvassing voters in Arizona, California and Oregon to help get Republicans up and down the ballot.
Fox News has also learned that the latest FEC filings for The Hispanic Voters Alliance will be released to the public on Thursday and will reveal the extent of Musk’s financial support. Musk’s donation to the PAC came from Musk directly and not through any of his PACs or organizations. The PAC has used the money in recent weeks to woo the Hispanic vote for Republicans.
PAC is associated with rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas. Gonzales hosted Musk during the billionaire’s visit to the Texas border in Eagle Pass, Texas, last year.
THIS IS HOW ELON MUSK’S BATTLEGROUND VOTER GIVEAWAY WORKS
Musk has already made waves on the Pennsylvania campaign trail in support of former President Donald Trump’s re-election, including offering $1 million a day to swing-state voters who sign his political action committee’s petition supporting the Constitution.
Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck and neck in a recent USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll, with Trump at 44% and Harris at 45%. However, Hariss appeared to be losing ground among Latino and black voters.

The new poll found Latino voters now support Trump 49% to 38%. Black voters favor Harris by 72% to 17%, but that 55-point advantage is significantly smaller than the advantage Democrats traditionally hold.
Trump has made inroads among black and Latino voters in the 2024 race by wooing menwhen he campaigns for the economy and crime.
