Elon Musk is putting more than $276 million behind Republicans ahead of the midterms, and he's doing it without the high-profile campaign appearances that defined his support for President Trump in 2024.
The world's only trillionaire is now the biggest known donor of the election cycle, including a staggering $158 million contribution to the main super PAC backing Republican Senate candidates.
Another $76 million is going to America PAC, which is rebuilding the massive door-knocking operation it used to help elect Trump in 2024. Musk is also directing $10 million toward a group supporting Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton.
The spending marks a dramatic reversal from May 2025, when Musk said he planned to scale back his political contributions, declaring, "I think I've done enough."
Now, with control of Congress on the line, Musk is pouring money into Republican races while largely staying out of the spotlight.

If we keep both houses of congress Trump can say we bought it. Let them riot.
We’d best buy it!
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO LEGALLY WIN!
Liberal newspapers GIVE more in terms of column inches of positive support for democrats than Elon could afford. And that doesn’t include the nonstop free ads of every show on MSNOW and CNN. We gotta get real here folks - the big money/freebie comes from the corrupt biased MSM.
At least Elon is fighting back!
After WE WIN, POTUS will “handle” the FAKE NEWS!
So true. The Networks gave Biden 4 prime time all networks airtime time slots leading up to the 24 Elections. Not to mention the all network prime time coverage of rats sham J6 “hearings”.
MUSK IS A LITTLE BUSY WITH SPACE LAUNCHES, IIRC
It is merely self defense. Musk knows if the RATs return to power they are coming after him.
Thank you Mr. musk.
And I thank God for Elon... and I thank God for President Trump.
You cannot be serious.
X alone has Daily Active Users of approximately 300 million, with Monthly Active users averaging 550 million.
That trumps all legacy media combined.
Musk buying Twitter changed everything.
And Musk has over 240 million followers and vastly more influence on X than anyone else, plus ans army of conservative news makers/journalists/influencers who regularly smoke the far left crazies.
By contrast, your precious CNN has prime time peak ratings of 500,000 to 700,000, with MSNOW prime time ratings at about 850,000.
Fox alone smokes CNN/MSNOW combined in prime time ratings.
Add in X then legacy media ratings don't look so good.
You are still thinking like its 1982, it isn't.
Is Musk busy?
Yes.
But is he by far the most influential person on X?
Yep.
There are millions of subscribers to other networks(like me) that have a dead zone they go through everyday with their current cell phone provider. Mine is Verizon. I do not get cell service in my yard or on the road in front of my home for about a mile in either direction. That is because there is a hill between me and the closest tower.
I was going to switch to ATT. However, about a year ago my daughter got a Starlink dish at her house about two miles away. They have internet service that never drops. They run two businesses out of their home. Based on her experience I am probably going to drop Xfinity/Comcast internet and switch to Starlink. If they begin to offer competitive phone service I will eventually switch to them too.
We better hope Elon is really a good guy because he is going to be in charge of the largest telecommunications company in the world soon.
Gateway Pundit on X.

Why doesn’t the media also report how much George Soros is shelling out for the Dem-ogogues?
The media hardly ever do.
Same with Sanders.
