Elon Musk has donated roughly $75m (€68.9m) over the last three months to his pro-Donald Trump spending group, underscoring how the billionaire has become crucial to the Republican candidate’s efforts to win the US presidential election.

Filings submitted by America Pac on Tuesday to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) showed Musk donated $15m (€13.7m) in July, $30m (€27.5m) in August and another $30m in September. Musk remains the political action committee’s only donor.
