Musk’s America PAC spends about $800K in key midterm races
Nearly 90% of the money went to Senate races, with Texas and Maine receiving the largest shares, according to the Federal Election Commission filing.
- Tech billionaire Elon Musk's America PAC spent around $800,000 supporting House and Senate candidates in battleground states last month, according to a disclosure released Wednesday evening.
- While Musk previously indicated he would spend "a lot less" on future campaigns, he has authorized his super PAC to spend up to $120 million to help elect Republicans in November.
- The majority of the funding, over $700,000, targeted Senate Republican races, including over $247,000 for Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas and $170,000 for Maine Sen. Susan Collins. All expenditures were categorized for "PRINTING," suggesting mail advertisements.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson met with the tech billionaire in Texas last week, declining to detail their conversation but stating, "we're gonna win the midterms."
- America PAC, created during the 2024 cycle, has officially entered the 2026 midterm election with a stated purpose to support "key values" including fair justice, free speech, safe cities, and secure borders.
