Summary
$800,000 in newly disclosed America PAC spending marks Elon Musk’s super PAC entry into the 2026 midterms, with nearly all of it backing Republicans in Senate contests.
$250,000 went to Ken Paxton’s Texas Senate race against Democrat James Talarico, while the PAC also backed Susan Collins in Maine, Jon Husted in Ohio and a dozen other Senate and House races.
Federal filings show the group’s latest push follows Musk’s broader midterm spending spree: he has already personally put more than $90 million into 2026 races, mostly through America PAC.
America PAC had spent more than $260 million helping Donald Trump and other Republicans in 2024 and also intervened in a 2025 Wisconsin judicial election, underscoring Musk’s growing role in Republican campaign financing.
