- Elon Musk is returning to his role as one of the GOP's most important megadonors.
- He gave $5 million apiece in December to two super PACs for GOP House and Senate candidates.
- He's also pumped another $2.9 million into his personal super PAC since August.
Elon Musk is spending big to help the GOP win the midterms.
The world's richest man gave $5 million apiece in December to two super PACs tied to House and Senate GOP leadership, according to new disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday.
That includes the Congressional Leadership Fund, which backs GOP House candidates, along with the Senate Leadership Fund.
While Musk's contributions have been previously reported, the disclosures put a precise dollar amount on Musk's new investments.
"He's been very helpful," Senate Majority Leader John Thune told the Washington Examiner in December, referring to Musk's contribution. "I welcome that obviously, and the more he wants to do, the more we welcome."
Musk previously contributed $5 million to both groups in late June, even as he was feuding with President Donald Trump over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. He also gave $10 million to Senate Leadership Fund in 2024.
The tech titan has also poured another $2.9 million into his super PAC, America PAC, since August, according to disclosures.
But that group didn't disclose any spending on elections during the last six months of 2025, with expenditures largely going toward social media content and maintenance costs.
Musk also contributed $10 million to a super PAC backing Nate Morris, a GOP Senate candidate in Kentucky, in January.
Correction: February 2, 2025 — An earlier version of this story misstated the entity that Musk donated to in Kentucky. He donated to a super PAC supporting Nate Morris, not to the candidate directly.
