Elon Musk donates $5 million to support Vivek Ramaswamy’s bid for Ohio governor, according to reports from The New York Times and Business Insider. The funding is directed to a super PAC associated with Ramaswamy’s campaign. Both outlets link the donation to Musk’s earlier public clashes with Ramaswamy over their efforts connected to “DOGE,” describing an abrupt split between the two after last year’s disagreement. The New York Times characterizes the contribution as a shift that appears to move past the tensions related to plans to downsize the federal workforce, while Business Insider similarly frames the move in the context of their earlier DOGE break. The reports do not suggest that the political disagreement has been resolved in detail, but they agree that Musk’s donation is a new show of support for Ramaswamy’s statewide race. Together, the coverage indicates Musk’s financial backing comes despite prior public divergences between the two figures.
