Early last year, there were reports that the RNC was nearly broke. Gathering the money to have a convention was going to be difficult.

Musk and his Silicon Valley friends jumped in. They are expecting a return on that investment. Trump couldn't stop them if he wanted to. It's to the point that whatever blackmail Putin has on Trump is secondary.
