Elon Musk backs America PAC for Trump’s Republican midterms
Elon Musk is preparing to reactivate his political action committee, America PAC, to fund advertising for Republican candidates in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. The group previously raised and spent more than $260 million supporting Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race, and Musk himself donated over $250 million to that campaign. Trump adviser James Blair told Axios the PAC’s return would give Republicans an “enormous boost.” The November election will decide every House seat and roughly one‑third of the Senate, meaning the results could significantly affect President Trump’s ability to advance his agenda for the remainder of his term. After the 2024 election Musk was appointed head of the newly created DOGE department, but the two leaders fell out in mid‑2025 over a tax‑law dispute before later reconciling, although their relationship remains distant.
