Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and the wealthiest person in the world, has reportedly contributed $276 million to Republican political groups since July, according to a spokesperson.
America PAC is a political action committee founded by Musk in 2024 to support Republican candidates and conservative ballot initiatives. Powered by hundreds of millions of dollars in personal funding from Musk, the organization focuses primarily on large-scale voter canvassing and targeted digital media campaigns.
Ahead of the midterms, Musk is the largest known donor, contributing $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund this summer. The donation ranks among the largest political contributions in United States history, as first reported by The New York Times and later confirmed by Andrew Romeo, a spokesperson for Musk’s super PAC.
After pouring more than $76 million into America PAC this summer, Musk saw those funds directed into a sprawling canvassing program targeting hard-to-reach Republican voters.
- $20 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the main super PAC for House Republicans
- $10 million to Lone Star Liberty PAC, a group supporting Texas GOP Senate hopeful Ken Paxton (R-Texas.)
- $10 million to the Republican Governors Association
- $2 million to the Republican Attorneys General Association
The massive spending marks a sharp reversal from last May, when Musk said he planned to scale back his political contributions, stating, “I think I’ve done enough.”
The Tesla CEO’s substantial financial contributions exemplify his support for President Donald Trump and Republican candidates in the midterms. His super PAC has also confirmed plans to remain active in the 2028 presidential race, positioning Musk to continue playing a major role in Republican politics.
Musk’s massive donation follows President Trump awarding the National Medal of Science to Musk and other tech executives on Thursday.
