During the post-general period, Musk put an additional $119.9 million into the America PAC super PAC that he created in May, the just-released FEC records show. Most of that money—$79.2 million—was given directly by Musk, while the remainder—$40.8 million—was given by United States of America Inc., a Musk-formed company that was the name on the checks given out to the winners of his staged petition lottery. The FEC filing specifies that the United States of America Inc. money is attributable to Musk. It brings his total given to the group to $238,523,078.25.
