GoKawiilAmerica PAC pours $21M into seven Senate races ahead of midterms, WIRED tracker shows
Federal filings analyzed by WIRED show Elon Musk's America PAC has spent $21 million of its $26.7 million total this cycle on seven competitive US Senate races. The spending as of October 6 skews heavily toward attacking Democratic candidates rather than directly supporting Republicans, with roughly double that ratio overall and triple in Senate contests specifically. This year's total spending is about a third of the $85.9 million America PAC had spent by the same point in 2024, when most money went to the presidential race.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The concentrated spending suggests America PAC has shifted strategy from a presidential-focused operation to one aimed at preventing Democrats from flipping the four seats needed to take Senate control. Because the PAC spends far more opposing Democrats than promoting Republicans, its approach appears geared toward disqualifying opponents rather than building up candidates. A Democratic Senate majority could carry consequences for Musk's business interests, though the article does not specify what those would be.
- America PAC has spent $21M of $26.7M total on seven competitive Senate races as of Oct. 6
- Spending this cycle is about one-third of what it was by the same point in 2024
- Money disproportionately funds attacks on Democrats rather than support for Republicans
