MUSK HAS SPENT $366 MILLION TO HELP REPUBLICANS RETAIN CONTROL OF CONGRESS

Elon Musk has spent roughly $366 million on the 2026 midterm elections so far, $276 million just since July, trying to help Republicans retain control of ​Congress, even as Democrats' chances of retaking the US House and Senate ‌have improved.

There is a ​lot at stake for Musk with House Democrats calling for investigations into his government contracts as CEO of aerospace company SpaceX as well as his work ⁠running the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.
