Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss Each Contributed $250,000 to New Trump-Aligned Super PAC

Jul 15, 2024

As a seasoned researcher who has followed the tech industry and political landscape closely for years, I find it intriguing to witness the recent wave of high-profile business leaders and venture capitalists pledging their support for President Trump’s reelection campaign through their financial contributions.

A select band of venture capitalists, business magnates, and tech leaders, among them the co-founders of Gemini, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, have collectively donated $8.75 million to a recently established super PAC supporting Donald Trump’s bid for presidency.

Based on the most recent disclosures made by America PAC to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), other contributors to the PAC are:
Elon Musk is alleged to have made a significant donation to America PAC, despite his name not being listed in their recent financial filings. According to the Wall Street Journal’s sources, Musk intends to contribute an enormous sum of $45 million every month to the PAC. However, Musk has refuted this claim by sharing a meme on Twitter that reads “FAKE NEWS.”

Following the weekend’s suspected assassination attempt on the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania, Musk expressed his unequivocal backing for Trump’s upcoming presidential campaign on social media, stating “I wholeheartedly endorse President Trump and wish him a swift recovery.”

Musk is among the notable tech and business leaders expressing their backing for Trump’s campaign, regardless of whether he has actually contributed to America PAC or not. Similarly, other executives such as Jesse Powell from Kraken have publicly donated substantial amounts, including $1 million in ether, to support Trump’s reelection efforts.
The Winklevoss twins not only supported America PAC and other super PACs, such as Fairshake (which they collectively donated around $5 million to), but also personally contributed $1 million each to Donald Trump’s campaign in June. Subsequently, some of their donations were returned to adhere to the legal maximums for individual contributions.
