Musk spends $270 million to support Republican candidates, becomes largest donor in midterm elections
According to a report from ET Net on the 13th, since early July this year, the world's richest man Musk has invested $276 million in the current U.S. midterm elections to support Republican candidates, aiming to establish a large-scale voter mobilization operation system to help the Republican Party retain seats in the Senate. Musk has become the biggest donor in this year's midterm elections.
According to donation records disclosed by Musk's team last Thursday (8th), Musk donated $158 million this summer to the Super PAC 'Senate Leadership Fund,' which supports Republican federal Senate candidates.
Musk's donation exceeds the total funds raised by the Democratic Party from all donors this summer. Analysts point out that no single donor in the Democratic camp can match Musk's election contributions. (rc)
