Elon Musk's America PAC Begins Midterm Spending in Key Senate Races
Elon Musk’s super PAC, America PAC, has spent over $800,000 on key House and Senate races ahead of the November midterms. Nearly 90% of this spending targeted seven competitive Senate contests, with major investments going to Texas for Republican Ken Paxton's race against Democrat James Talarico, as well as Maine, Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa, Michigan, and Alaska. The expenditures were disclosed shortly after Musk met with House Speaker Mike Johnson in Texas. While the PAC spent heavily on Senate races, it allocated a smaller amount—$90,000—to support Republican candidates in eight competitive House districts across several states. The spending was categorized as printing expenses for mail advertising and occurred between August 18 and September 10. Musk has previously committed over $239 million to America PAC during the 2024 presidential election, but he recently indicated a potential reduction in political involvement after joining Donald Trump’s administration. However, his recent spending suggests continued support for Republican candidates ahead of the midterms.
