Musk’s America PAC is expected to fund turnout operations as Republicans seek to hold Congress and avoid losing their majorities.
- Elon Musk plans to spend at least $100 million to boost Republican voter turnout in the November midterm elections, solidifying a renewed political alliance with President Donald Trump.
- Following the pair's June 2025 public feud, efforts by Vice President JD Vance and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles facilitated reconciliation, culminating in a May trip to Beijing where Musk joined Trump aboard Air Force One.
- Through America PAC, a super political action committee, Musk intends to channel spending toward competitive Senate and House races, with total midterm investment potentially reaching $120 million.
