Republicans are relying on this billionaire’s money to win the midterms — and hoping you don’t notice.

Elon Musk has quietly spent $445 million for Republicans so far in this year’s midterm elections.

He’s spent the most money so far in the Texas Senate race, boosting Republican Ken Paxton and attacking Democrat James Talarico. He’s also spending millions for the Republican Senate candidates in Ohio and Michigan, and in more than 30 competitive House races. The spending is happening through his “America PAC.”

But while Republicans accept Musk’s money, they’re hoping no one notices. Party operatives behind the scenes reportedly want to maintain some distance from him. 

This is a big change of heart from the 2024 election, when Trump and Republicans were all too happy to put him on center stage.

So what happened?

In early 2025, Musk made himself the star of the show in a crucial Wisconsin state supreme court election. He dumped at least $20 million into the race, ran around onstage in a giant cheesehead hat, and even promised voters $1 million checks.

In the end, the Republican candidate got walloped, losing by 10 points. It was a clear rejection of Musk, who had just spent the previous months doing Nazi salutes, terrorizing federal workers, and gutting federal agencies through his “Department of Government Efficiency.” It was also a rejection of the president he helped install.

Since then, Musk has gotten even less popular.

But despite his unpopularity, Republicans are still eager to take his money. And he’s still eager to give it to them. 

That’s because Musk needs Republicans just as much as Republicans need him.

After helping deliver the presidency and Congress to them two years ago, Musk has reaped a massive return on his investment through government contracts, tax cuts, and deregulation

Republicans can try to downplay their dependence on Elon Musk in the midterms, but we know the truth. And if Republicans maintain control of Congress, they’ll continue to sell out our country to billionaires like him.
