GoKawiilMusk's America PAC spends $800K on midterms, targeting seven Senate races
Elon Musk's super PAC, America PAC, disclosed its first midterm expenditures to the FEC, spending over $800,000 across seven Senate contests and several House races. The largest chunk, more than $247,000, went to Texas to boost Republican Ken Paxton against Democrat James Talarico, with additional funds directed to Maine, Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa, Michigan and Alaska. The spending, categorized as mail advertising, marks the start of what Musk has reportedly pledged could grow to $120 million in Republican-focused election spending.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This filing gives the first concrete evidence of how Musk intends to deploy his political money ahead of the midterms, singling out competitive Senate seats where Republican incumbents or candidates face tough fights. The Texas race stands out because Paxton has been vastly outspent by his Democratic opponent, so Musk's infusion could reshape the financial balance there. It also signals Musk's continued pivot toward backing Republicans after previously supporting Democratic causes.
- America PAC spent over $800,000 across seven Senate races between Aug. 18-31.
- Texas received the largest share, over $247,000, to help Paxton against Talarico.
- The spending is a fraction of the up to $120 million Musk reportedly authorized for the midterms.
