His donations aim to help Republicans maintain control of Congress, with major contributions directed toward the Senate Leadership Fund, America PAC, adn other GOP-affiliated groups. Despite previously indicating a step back from political giving in 2025, Musk\u2019s financial involvement indicates a continued focus on influencing political outcomes.His substantial donations are viewed as a key factor in boosting Republican efforts to secure their majorities in both the House and Senate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The force behind SpaceX is pouring rocket fuel into the Republican Party\u2019s hopes to hold its congressional majority in next month\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk has spent more than $276 million since July to support Republican campaigns, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/10\/12\/us\/politics\/elon-musk-midterms.html?unlocked_article_code=1.IFE.ud4O.qyeJeRcWFx8e&#038;smid=url-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Musk has contributed a total of $366 million in this election cycle, topping his approximately $290 million from 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Political precedent shows that the party of the president in power at the time generally has an uphill battle during midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Given the razor-thin margin by which Republicans hold the House, and the slim margin by which they have the Senate, a shift of a few seats could reverse those majorities.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8 ELON MUSK IS ALL IN TO SAVE THE MIDTERMS.<\/p>\n<p>He has put more than $276 MILLION into Republican groups since July, according to figures his team gave the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>That includes $158 MILLION to the Senate Leadership Fund to protect the GOP Senate majority.
