He had spent over $290 million the previous year to support Trump’s presidential campaign against Democrat Kamala Harris.
Meanwhile, in US News Live, it was reported that Marco Rubio had taken over as the acting head of USAID amid Musk’s threat to “shut down” the humanitarian agency as part of his efforts to shrink the US government.
