In a small campaign headquarters near a Red Lobster in Tallahassee, Ron DeSantis’ team was preparing for his presidential candidacy announcement. The plan was to go big with a rally at a baseball stadium in Tampa, but campaign manager Generra Peck had a different idea. She had been working behind the scenes with Elon Musk to arrange an audio-only conversation on Twitter Spaces. Unfortunately, technical glitches marred the event, setting a tumultuous tone for DeSantis’ campaign.

Fast forward to today, and Peck and Musk are collaborating once again. This time, they are working on America PAC, a super political action committee dedicated to electing Donald Trump. Their efforts are crucial as Trump relies on outside groups like America PAC for outreach and voter engagement.

America PAC focuses on identifying likely Trump supporters through door-to-door canvassing and digital outreach. The PAC’s work, along with Musk’s involvement, has garnered significant attention.

While Musk has denied reports of large financial contributions, his vocal support for Trump and conservative values is evident. His partnership with America PAC underscores his commitment to the cause.

As America PAC restructures and solidifies its strategy, former DeSantis campaign aides like Peck and Phil Cox are at the helm. Their close relationship with Musk has been instrumental in shaping the PAC’s direction.

The future of America PAC and Musk’s political involvement remains uncertain, but one thing is clear – their impact on the upcoming election could be significant. As the political landscape evolves, it will be fascinating to see how Musk’s influence continues to shape the narrative.
