Elon Musk's gamble hits big time: 'A star is born'

Elon Musk put more than $100 million of his own money into aiding the Trump campaign, and now that President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., he’s about to see what his money bought him.

The tech mogul endorsed Trump back in July, after the first assassination attempt on Trump’s life, and quickly offered his deep financial resources to help the campaign. In total, Musk donated nearly $119 million to a political action committee he set up to support Trump, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
