Musk bolstered Pac with $20.5m ahead of election while late supreme court justice’s family denounced it as ‘appalling’

The RBG Pac, funded entirely by the world’s richest man with a $20.5m donation in the final two weeks of the campaign, ran advertisements and mailers suggesting an ideological alignment between Trump and Ginsburg on abortion.
