He also promised to fund Massie to the extent Trump funds a challenger!

Giving money to dems is giving money to outright socialists.

Musk has mentioned in the past that Soros got a lot more bang for his buck by focusing on District Attorneys and Secretaries of State. I wonder if Musk will do the same.

Apparently not any more-

As per Grok-More recent reporting (as of December 2025) indicates Musk has shifted to donating sizable checks to broader Republican midterm efforts for 2026, supporting GOP House and Senate races generally rather than targeting specific challengers or opponents. Sources suggest Musk is acting as a traditional megadonor, with no confirmed follow-through on individual pledges like the one to Massie.
There is no evidence of indirect funding through Musk-linked PACs (e.g., America PAC) specifically for Massie’s campaign. Massie continues to face a Trump-backed primary challenger, but Musk’s earlier vocal support has not translated to documented financial backing as of now.”

The Democrats are getting too crazy.

We shouldn't call them Democrats.

They're Communists. Or Marxists.

Donations have to be disclosed in public filings. In addition, Musk becoming a major GOP donor in the midterms helps to encourage GOP candidates and donors and dispirit the Dems. As a common practice, infusions of cash and support are touted by campaigns.

Wonderful idea. AND Musk could help find conservatives to be School Board members. Turns out the liberals who run for those spots don't have kids in the system - or even have kids at all.

Over the last few months I've met -- in person and online -- a dozen or so people who've told me they hate X, have dropped X, or would never go on X.

They never say why. They never mention Elon or politics. But I can guess why.

Mr. Musk, a suggestion.

If there are any Donald Dems running in ‘Rat primaries, fund them as well.

Don’t fight half a battle.

No but he's been known to make things up and in this case; "two sources told Axios.”

Thanks Elon. Hope all Repubs appreciate this, because what a amess we’ll likely have on our hands if Democrats should win the next presidential election with no candidates fit for dog catcher.
