Musk Plans to Spend at Least $100 Million to Help Republicans in the Midterms

Elon Musk, a year after a huge blowup with President Trump and the Republican Party, is said to be planning to spend in at least eight states to help them in November.

Elon Musk, a year after voicing deep frustration with the Republican Party and threatening to start a third party, appears to be back in the fold and prepared to spend big in the midterms to help G.O.P. candidates.

Mr. Musk, the world’s richest person, has authorized his super PAC to spend $100 million to $120 million on a new field program in at least eight states to help elect Republicans in November, according to two people briefed on the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private deliberations.

The planned injection of cash from Mr. Musk, the biggest donor in the 2024 presidential election, would only add to Republicans’ yawning advantage over Democrats in funding from super PACs and party groups. While Democratic candidates in key Senate races are raising more than their Republican rivals, many in the Democratic Party have begun to worry about being badly outspent overall in the midterms.

Officials from Mr. Musk’s super PAC, America PAC, have communicated their nine-figure budget to other Republicans in recent weeks as part of an aggressive spending plan that is set to begin next month, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

The precise amounts could change, but Mr. Musk’s financial commitment is seen as secure enough that officials at his super PAC have relayed its budget to groups like MAGA Inc., President Trump’s super PAC — which also has yet to reveal its midterm spending plan.

Musk finally understands the Democrats are a threat to the nation. They are bringing in the exact same sort of sh*t that doomed his last country.

If a trillionaire gives $100 million, that’s like someone with $100,000 income giving $10. The difference, of course, is that the percentage of the six-figure income needed to pay bills is much higher than the bills of the trillionaire.

I’m not at all complaining about the money, since anything to keep the socialists out of power is both necessary and wonderful.

Tp uSA has targeted AZ,NH and another state.
They have hired door knockers to get out the vote because we can win in these states IF we can get people off their lazy butts and get out and VOTE.

I am involved on the town level of the Republican committee.
It is amazing the apathy of the common voters.
If people would just show up we would crush the Democrats

$100 mil sounds like a lot of money, and it is, but I bet it pales in comparison to hidden socialist war chests that are waiting in the wings. Imagine the kickback the Demos got from the billions Obama sent to Iran.

I was thinking more like all the special elections since 2024. Yes, it was awesome to win 2024, but when you don’t win anything since it kind of sucks.
