Since July, Elon Musk has donated $75 million to Super-PAC in support of Donald Trump

Elon Musk, the businessman of Tesla, SpaceX and the social network X, has donated 75 million dollars since last July to ‘Trump America PAC’, a Super-PAC in support of the electoral campaign of former US president and Republican candidate, Donald Trump.

The 53-year-old South African businessman is one of the most staunch supporters of the former president (2017-2021) and has completely turned in support of the MAGA movement (‘Make the United States Great Again’).

In addition, Musk accompanied Trump this month in the symbolic rally that the former president held in the small town of Butler (Pennsylvania), the same place where he was almost murdered on July 13.

Elon Musk contributes to Trump

The documents presented to the Federal Electoral Commission show that the founding tycoon of the aerospace company SpaceX has been increasing his donations since last July, the month in which he donated almost 15 million dollars to this Super-PAC.
In August, it gave 30 million dollars to the Super-PAC, the same amount as last September.

Meanwhile, the businessman, the richest man in the world, said today in X that he will be from this afternoon until next Monday in the key state of Pennsylvania giving a series of talks.

“If you want to attend one of my talks, you don’t have to pay the entrance fee. You just have to have signed our petition in support of freedom of expression and the right to bear arms and have voted in these elections,” Musk posted in X.

I would give him a position in the government

During Trump’s campaign event in Butler earlier this month, Musk said that “this will be the last election” if Trump does not win the November elections and asked to register to vote because, he added, “they are going to take away our right to vote.”

For his part, Trump has indicated that he will create a new position in his Administration for Musk, assuming he reaches the White House again.

In addition, the executive director of X, who for years had chosen to stay out of politics, has declared in the last year his open support for Donald Trump until he became a great donor to his campaign.

U.S. lowers travel advisory for much of Venezuela but keeps high-risk zones under warning

The U.S. Department of State announced on Thursday that it has lowered its travel advisory for much of Venezuela to Level 3 (“Reconsider Travel”), reflecting what it described as improved security conditions in parts of the country.

However, the agency will maintain the highest Level 4 warning (“Do Not Travel”) for several regions, including the states of Táchira, Amazonas, Apure, Aragua and Guárico, as well as rural areas of Bolívar, citing ongoing risks such as crime, kidnapping and terrorism.

The updated advisory marks a shift from December, when the United States raised the alert for Venezuela to Level 4 nationwide, warning of severe security threats.

Despite the partial downgrade, U.S. authorities continue to urge caution, emphasizing that conditions remain volatile in certain areas and that travelers should carefully assess risks before planning any trips to the country.

EU lawmakers move to ban AI tools that generate non-consensual nude images

Members of the European Parliament are pushing to ban across the bloc artificial intelligence services that allow users to digitally “undress” people without their consent.

The proposal, adopted on Wednesday at committee level, aims to prohibit applications that generate non-consensual explicit images. Irish lawmaker Michael McNamara, one of the sponsors, said the measure seeks to stop tools that “have caused significant harm for the benefit of a few.”

Dutch MEP Kim van Sparrentak welcomed the move, calling it “a major victory, especially for women and children in Europe.”

The amendment, part of broader EU legislation on artificial intelligence, was approved by the Parliament’s civil liberties and internal market committees. It specifically targets systems that use AI to create or manipulate sexually explicit or intimate images resembling identifiable individuals without their consent.

The proposal will be put to a full vote in the European Parliament on March 26. If adopted, lawmakers and European Union member states will need to agree on a final version before it can take effect.

Separately, representatives of the 27 EU countries recently backed a Franco-Spanish amendment seeking to ban AI services used to generate non-consensual sexual images or child sexual abuse material.

The initiative follows controversy surrounding a feature introduced in Grok, developed by xAI, which allowed users to create simulated nude images from real photos. The tool sparked widespread criticism and prompted an EU investigation.

In response, xAI restricted image generation features in mid-January to paying subscribers and stated it blocks the creation of sexualized images in jurisdictions where such content is illegal.
