Elon Musk’s super PAC, America PAC, has spent approximately $800,000 in key political races across the United States to support Republican candidates. A recent filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) shows that the PAC is focusing on highly competitive Senate races in states like Maine, Michigan, and Texas. The report reveals that nearly $250,000 has been spent in Texas’s Senate race, over $170,000 in Maine, and more than $25,000 in Michigan. In total, the PAC is involved in more than a dozen states, including Alaska, Florida, Iowa, and New York, where both House and Senate races are seen as critical to the balance of power in Congress.
According to NBC News, America PAC has begun running digital advertisements in Maine, Michigan, and New Hampshire to promote conservative candidates and boost voter registration. The latest FEC filing suggests that Musk is planning to ramp up spending as the midterm elections approach. These efforts come as Democrats aim to gain control of the Senate or House by flipping several closely contested districts.
In Texas, where the Senate race is expected to see millions of dollars in spending from both sides, the relatively smaller contribution from America PAC is seen as a strategic move to support the Republican nominee. This follows concerns within the party about the candidate’s fundraising challenges, prompting calls for outside groups to assist. Andrew Romeo, a spokesperson for America PAC, previously stated that the PAC was excited to support Republican efforts and praised the party’s organizational strength in preparing for the midterms.
Musk has been a major financial backer in recent political campaigns, most notably in the 2024 presidential race, where he spent over $250 million to support Donald Trump and Republican candidates. He also spent millions in an unsuccessful bid to support a conservative candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race. Musk has maintained a close relationship with Trump, especially during the early months of Trump’s second term, when Musk led the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Although the two had a brief and public disagreement that led Musk to threaten forming a third party, they have since reconciled and have been seen traveling together, including on Trump’s recent state visit to China.
