Elon Musk super PAC working with Michigan GOP ahead of presidential election

The Michigan Republican Party is working with a super PAC founded by billionaire Elon Musk to get out the vote in the presidential election’s final weeks, leveraging new federal election rules that let them collaborate closely.

A representative from America PAC sat in on an internal Michigan GOP strategy call with delegates and activists Wednesday. As party officials touted the importance of volunteering to knock doors, they also acknowledged Musk’s outside effort would pay well.

“Anybody that wants to sign on and has the capacity and capability to walk with a pretty good schedule, they will make a good amount of money between now and November,” Michigan GOP Finance Chair Warren Carpenter said on the call.

The outside support from Musk, the world’s richest person and a supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, could be important in a state where the traditional GOP apparatus is recovering from party infighting that had – at least temporarily – driven away long-time donors.
