Musk says he will donate to Massie amid reignited Trump feud

KENTUCKY'S 4TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, JUL 1 – Elon Musk opposes GOP's $3.3 trillion deficit-increasing tax and spending bill and backs Massie as a fiscal conservative facing a Trump-backed primary challenge.

  • Elon Musk has publicly declared his support and financial backing for Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie's 2026 campaign as part of an ongoing conflict with Donald Trump.
  • The endorsement comes after the Senate narrowly approved President Trump’s legislation involving tax reductions and spending measures on June 30 and July 1, a plan strongly opposed by Massie and Musk because it is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit.
  • Massie claims he has a bloc of at least 10 House Republicans ready to vote against the bill amid warnings from Trump to back a primary challenger and attacks calling Massie a “loser.”
  • Musk called the legislation a “debt bomb ticking” and a “disgusting abomination,” while tweeting “I will” when asked if he would support Massie’s reelection bid.
  • Musk’s backing highlights his break with Trump and signals ongoing political tensions, with potential implications for the Republican Party and future spending debates.
