Musk Pledges GOP Funding, Shifts Political Stance
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has announced his plans to financially support Republican candidates in the 2026 midterm elections. This decision comes after a tumultuous year with former President Trump, during which Musk served as a top campaign surrogate and briefly led the Department of Government Efficiency. However, he resigned in May 2025 due to disagreements over a massive spending bill. Despite their past conflicts, recent interactions suggest a quick reconciliation. Musks significant financial contributions in the last cycle and his current fundraising efforts for 2026 could potentially influence the midterm elections and reshape the Republican Partys landscape.
