Elon Musk to spend big for Republicans in the midterms

Jul 29, 2026

Elon Musk plans a major cash push to boost Republican turnout in the 2026 midterms, framed here as bad for anyone who wants less money in politics.

  • Musk is reviving his America PAC, which spent over $260 million to help elect Trump in 2024.
  • The money will fund door-knocking, digital ads, and mail to turn out the conservative base, including people who usually skip non-presidential elections.
  • The exact amount is not disclosed, but it's expected to be large.
  • The argument: Musk backs Republicans because it has made him and the tech, AI, and crypto industries far richer, not out of concern for the country.

Outlook: Expect heavy Musk-funded spending aimed at Republican turnout as the midterms approach.
