Elon Musk attempted a peace offering with Donald Trump after the ex-‘First Buddy’ split from the White House, giving $15million to Trump and Republican causes.

The donations were made after the former DOGE chairman’s ugly feud with Trump upon his departure, but before Musk announced plans to launch the independent ‘America Party.’

Musk gave $5million to three different super PACs supporting both the president and his party.

According to Federal Election Commission filings, he gave to MAGA Inc., the Senate Leadership Fund and the Congressional Leadership Fund on June 27.

Just eight day later, Musk launched the ‘America Party,’ which he said was formed ‘to give you back your freedom.’

Musk has donated $45 million in 2025 to his own America PAC which was largely spent on an unsuccessful Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House for comment.

Musk announced the foundation of the America Party on his X social media platform just after Independence Day.

The donations were made after the former DOGE chairman’s ugly feud with Trump (pictured left) upon his departure, but before Musk (pictured right) announced plans to launch the independent ‘America Party.’

It came after Musk created an online poll on July 4 asking his followers whether to establish the new party.

The results came back 65.4 percent in favor, leading Musk to make the announcement.

‘By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!’ Musk wrote.

‘When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.

‘Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.’

Musk had been elevated to a prestigious role within the White House acting as a special advisor to the president and overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency.

But in recent months a rift has emerged and the two former friends have been embroiled in embarrassing public spats played out over social media.

Many had predicted that Trump and Musk’s rosy bromance wouldn’t last long and some pointed to betting markets on when they would turn on each other.

Betters heavily favored a fallout before July 1, 2025, less than six months after Musk joined Trump’s administration as a special advisor.

In just a matter of months Musk went from spending $288 million for Trump’s election campaign, to slinging insults about him online, including suggesting Trump was in The Epstein files.

The bust up occurred after Musk stepped down from DOGE over Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ which ends tax breaks for electric vehicles, which are Tesla CEO Musk’s passion project.

Musk also argued that the bill undercut DOGE’s cost-cutting efforts by increasing the deficit.

The rift deepened after the president rescinded his nomination offer to Musk-ally Jared Isaacman for NASA administrator over donations he made to the Democrats.

Since then Trump and Musk have engaged in public mudslinging against each other.

Musk accused the president of ingratitude and claimed he would have lost the election without him, while Trump branded him ‘crazy’.

Since their public break-up, Musk has threatened to start a new, third political party and buttress the reelection campaign of Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, one of the no votes on Trump’s big bill.

Trump recently outed himself as the person who leaked details about Musk’s alleged drug use, according to author Michael Wolff, who penned the eye-popping book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

The New York Times reported that during the 2024 presidential campaign, the billionaire used so much ketamine he was having bladder problems and also used Ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and what appeared to be Adderall.

Musk has denied The Times’ reporting and released a drug test online since.
