Why MAGA suddenly loves solar power [View all]

However, Miller said she was not being paid by AEF or ACP for her posts or her podcast.

“I do not have a paid partnership with them,” she said in a statement. ACP declined to comment on whether it paid or partnered with Miller.

In addition to vehicle manufacturing, Musk’s Tesla also produces solar panels, but the business that formerly operated under the SolarCity brand has seen its share of the market drop sharply since it was brought inside the larger company in 2016.

The MAGA-focused solar re-brand comes as surging utility bills and construction of new power-hungry data centers serving the artificial intelligence boom at the center of Trump’s economic vision will squeeze voters’ finances — and threaten the narrow GOP hold on Congress.

Many of the president’s backers believe the fresh data points about Republicans’ support for solar energy will create space for Trump to ditch policies that have stalled the growth of solar, helping him accomplish goals to buoy U.S. manufacturing, tame prices and bolster data center operations.
