According to Axios, Musk has begun fulfilling his pledge to support Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections, recently providing financial support to multiple Republican candidates for the House of Representatives and Senate, officially returning to the forefront of U.S. political donations. Despite complaining in a recent podcast about the costs he has paid for getting involved in politics, this move shows that Musk still plans to have a more direct influence in the election cycle. Sources said the exact donation amounts will be disclosed in the next month's campaign finance reports, but Musk has "written a large check" and has stated that he will continue to increase support for Republican congressional campaigns throughout the 2026 election cycle. This move is seen as an important development for the Republican Party to secure a major donor before the crucial midterm elections, and also marks Musk's re-entry into partisan politics after a brief period of de-escalation.
