Musk Reportedly Spending Up To $120 Million Helping GOP In Midterms—After Saying He 'Got A Little Too Involved In Politics'

Forbes · back to the audit
Elon Musk has authorized his super PAC to spend up to $120 million to help elect Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections, The New York Times reported Thursday—furthering his alliance with the GOP amid his up-and-down relationship with President Donald Trump.

Musk's America PAC plans to spend $100 million to $120 million, focusing on Senate races in at least eight states, and several House races, the Times reported, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the plans.

The group told the Times it would be "active in battleground Senate and House races—both offensive and defensive" and conduct "a historic 'get out the vote' operation for the 2026 midterms."

Initial targets include Senate races in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan and Ohio with possible involvement in North Carolina, Georgia and Texas Senate contests, according to the Times.

Musk spent more than $260 million to elect Trump in 2024, making him the largest political donor in history.

Since the 2024 election cycle, America PAC's Federal Election Commission filings show most of its spending concentrated on voter outreach, legal services and advertising, including $2.3 million paid to Lex Politica, an Austin-based political law firm co-founded by a former America PAC lawyer, between February 2025 through March 2026.
