Overview
- Musk posted on X on Jan. 1 that “America is toast if the radical left wins,” replying to a claim that he is going “all in” to fund Republicans and sharing a clip of President Donald Trump patting his arm.
- Multiple outlets citing Axios report that Musk has recently written large checks to GOP House and Senate campaigns and intends to give more during the 2026 cycle.
- The specific sums and targets of his contributions have not been made public and will appear in filings due later in January.
- The renewed giving follows a reconciliation with President Trump after a mid‑2025 rift, with reporting that Vice President J.D. Vance helped broker the thaw.
- Musk was the top individual donor in 2024 with roughly $290–291.5 million and had floated an “America Party” last year before stepping back from that plan.
