Rumors have been swirling that Elon Musk may donate $100 million to Nigel Farage’s right-wing Reform UK party - in a small scoop, I report Musk has just incorporated X. AI London Ltd, showing he is 'reaching across the pond' on multiple fronts, my latest: newstracs.com/elon-musk-may-…
Last week Musk met with Nigel Farage and Reform’s party treasurer Nick Candy at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago
Filings on UK Companies House show that this month Musk also incorporated X . AI London Ltd
Earlier this year I reported the first $6bil funding round for xAI included $400 million from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud and Kingdom Holding (per June 2024 financial statement). That amount has likely increased with the latest financing round. newstracs.com/elon-musk-may-…

@hrw Here's my 2022 chart showing Saudi Arabian funding Saudi Arabia funding of Donald Trump and Jared Kushner – the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and LIV Golf
A🧵on Ryan Girdusky (banned by CNN for racist remark inciting violence) and financial links to Leonard Leo
In 2022 a nonprofit closely linked to Leo called The Concord Fund gave $270K to Girdusky's nonprofit and Leo's Marble Trust paid $888K to a firm run by Girdusky's relatives
In 2022 the Concord Fund (formerly JCN) run by Ann Corkery gave $270,000 to Ryan Girdusky's 1776 Education Project. Ann & husband Neil are tied closely to Leonard Leo. Neil is CFO of Leo's for profit CRC Advisors which The Concord Fund has paid over $20mil projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/org…
Ryan Girdusky's 1776 Education Project nonprofit filing for 2022 shows total contributions of $210,000 - less than $270,000 in The Concord Fund filing (perhaps due payment timing) but it appears the Leo-linked fund may fully support Girdusky's nonprofit
NEW: Elon Musk’s pro-Trump America PAC has spent $144 million and over 40% went to Phil Cox - I analyzed FEC filings and found that $61.7 million was paid to firms linked to former GOP and DeSantis operative Phil Cox, who helps run America PAC, my latest: newstracs.com/musks-america-…
America PAC received $140 million and Musk funded $118.5 million
Betsy DeVos, Trump’s former Secretary of Education and sister of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, donated $250,000 and with 6 members of the DeVos family provided $2 million to Musk’s PAC
America PAC has made $144 million in payments - of those $136 million are independent expenditures - payments to influence a federal election that support or oppose specific candidates
88% of expenditures were to support Trump or oppose Harris or Biden
