There are at least 20 ongoing federal investigations and regulatory actions affecting Musk's business empire. What happens to them once Trump takes office?

Interestingly, BAF gave $500K to an Iowa nonprofit led by influential evangelical leader Bob Vanderplaats in 2023. @alexandraulmer.bsky.social reported that DeSantis + allies gave $95K to Vanderplaats's group as a way to buy his endorsement, but this $500K ups the ante substantially.

New filings show the Elon Musk-backed dark money group Building America’s Future spent $23 million last year. The filing reflects how Musk and his political advisers were initially backing Ron DeSantis for president.
