A last-minute super-PAC appeared in politics scene last fall showing unexpected links between Elon Musk and abortion-rights messaging. The group (named RBG PAC) started its work around mid-oct 2023 with a single goal: to draw parallels between Donald Trump and late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburgʼs views on abortion
The money trail leads to an interesting discovery — Musks trust transferred $20.5-million to this organization just days after its creation making him its sole financial backer. The super-PACs quick setup and targeted ad strategy shows careful pre-planning‚ yet stayed under-the-radar until required financial reports came out this week
The timing of these events raises questions: the group formed less than 30 days before voting day ran ads connecting two unlikely figures on a hot-button issue and got massive funding from a tech industry leader. Due to campaign finance rules timing nobody knew about Musks involvement until thursdayʼs disclosure deadline; he kept quiet about his connection to the project during its whole run
