Musk’s money swings into 2026 midterms
Elon Musk's super PAC, America PAC, has spent over $800,000 on various campaign materials for Republican candidates in key congressional races leading up to the 2026 midterms. The majority of the funds have been allocated to Texas, where SpaceX founder Musk is based, with a significant donation of $247,595 going towards Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's Senate race against Democrat James Talarico.
U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, received $170,224, and Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted got $105,675. Musk's PAC has also supported several U.S. House candidates from committees that oversee SpaceX's work, including home security, foreign affairs, and transportation. Despite criticism from Democrats, the PAC remains focused on its efforts to bolster Republican voter turnout and support in battleground states.
