#msg1956553Let's go w/ this from the NY Times. Musk Plans to Spend at Least $100 Million to Help Republicans in the Midterms Elon Musk, a year after a huge blowup with President Trump and the Republican Party, is said to be planning to spend in at least eight states to help them in November. archive.is/202607302 04827/https://www.ny times.com/2026/07/30 /us/politics/el Elon Musk, a year after voicing deep frustration with the Republican Party and threatening to start a third party, appears to be back in the fold and prepared to spend big in the midterms to help G.O.P. candidates. Mr. Musk, the world's richest person, has authorized his super PAC to spend $100 million to $120 million on a new field program in at least eight states to help elect Republicans in November, according to two people briefed on the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private deliberations. The planned injection of cash from Mr. Musk, the biggest donor in the 2024 presidential election, would only add to Republicans' yawning advantage over Democrats in funding from super PACs and party groups. While Democratic candidates in key Senate races are raising more than their Republican rivals, many in the Democratic Party have begun to worry about being badly outspent overall in the midterms. Officials from Mr. Musk's super PAC, America PAC, have communicated their nine-figure budget to other Republicans in recent weeks as part of an aggressive spending plan that is set to begin next month, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The precise amounts could change, but Mr. Musk's financial commitment is seen as secure enough that officials at his super PAC have relayed its budget to groups like MAGA Inc., President Trump's super PAC - which also has yet to reveal its midterm spending plan. Mr. Musk's group plans to initially target Senate races in at least five states - Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan and Ohio - and is having conversations about the contests in North Carolina, Georgia and Texas, according to two people with knowledge of the super PAC's plans. The super PAC is also planning to spend in House races in states including California, Wisconsin and Washington, according to two people with knowledge of the plans. America PAC said that it would be active in battleground Senate and House races. The group declined to comment on its budget and targeted states. Some of its high-level plans were earlier reported by Axios. Mr. Musk's super PAC is closely coordinating with an ecosystem of outside groups that are preparing field campaigns, including Americans for Prosperity, which is part of the billionaire Koch brothers' political network, and the Sentinel Action Fund, another conservative organization. Republican outside groups are planning to pool their field operations more than ever after a Supreme Court ruling in late June made it cheaper for party committees to work directly with candidates.
