Elon Musk has reportedly injected around $77 million into his America PAC in the first half of October alone

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has pumped more than $445 million into Republican campaigns ahead of the midterm elections, according to a report.

​The GOP has been forced to contend with grim polling ahead of the midterms, with Democrats surging in polls across the country amid public anger over the war in Iran and the cost of living.

​Musk, among the richest people in the world, has become increasingly tied to the GOP in recent years - even overseeing the Trump administration’s DOGE scheme before dramatically exiting the White House.

    $ 450 million. Such a MASSIVE number!!! Let that sink in, that it’s “donations” so it’ll become some tax write off, I’m sure. Still, such a crazy amount to go to waste!

    However…

    That’s only 0.045% of his overall wealth… Sure, not his “income”, but with a half billion tax write off, it’s a win-win for him.
