The New York Times reported on Oct. 13 that Elon Musk has quietly poured more than $276 million into Republican groups and their super PACs since early July, funding a large voter-mobilization push as Republicans confront a difficult midterm election environment. The report said the spending makes Musk the biggest donor in U.S. midterm election history.
A large share of that money went to the Senate Leadership Fund. According to the report, Musk donated a total of $158 million to the group over the summer in an effort to help Republicans retain their Senate majority. The New York Times described it as one of the largest political donations in U.S. history.
The report also said Musk used his super PAC, America PAC, which he created in 2024, to build a major Republican turnout operation. He gave the organization more than $76 million this summer to fund a broad canvassing effort aimed at Republican voters who are harder to reach. In the 2025-26 election cycle, the report said Musk has donated about $366 million to federal committees, above the roughly $290 million he spent in the 2024 election. People familiar with the matter said he also made additional undisclosed donations in both elections.
