“The assist from Musk — along with tens of millions of dollars in donations to other groups — marks a decisive return to large-scale political giving for the world's richest man, who spent over a quarter of a billion dollars backing President Trump and other Republican candidates in 2024”
“That group reported over $100 million in pro-Paxton and anti-Talarico spending”
“Billionaire Elon Musk donated $158 million last month to the main super PAC supporting Senate Republicans, which almost immediately sent the money to a group that supports GOP Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton, according to Federal Election Commission filings”
“Musk donated $75 million to the Senate Leadership Fund PAC on Sept. 9, and $83 million two weeks later, the group reported Thursday”
