Tech billionaire Elon Musk reportedly plans to fund a massive ground operation to boost Republicans and spend up to $200 million ahead of the November midterm elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Musk plans to relaunch America PAC, the same political group that spent hundreds of millions helping elect President Donald Trump in 2024, with a heavy focus on battleground states. The revived operation will prioritize door-knocking, digital advertising, and direct mail to energize conservative voters who typically skip midterms.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former DOGE chief, who quit Washington after a falling out with the White House, is expected to spend between $100 million and $200 million, with a major focus on Texas, where one prediction market currently favors Democrat James Talarico to upset Republican Ken Paxton in the make-or-break U.S. Senate race. <\/span>Wired<\/span> first reported on the development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica PAC was an essential partner for our historic GOTV operation in 2024, and their return for 2026 is a huge boost for Republicans across the country,\u201d James Blair, President Trump\u2019s senior political adviser, told <\/span>Axios<\/span> in July. \u201cWe will again outsmart our opponents and ruthlessly execute our mission for the GOP between now and Election Day.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a striking reversal for the X owner, who just <\/span>last year accused Trump <\/span>of covering up convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s crimes and implied the president himself was implicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTime to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!\u201d Musk said in June 2025, before adding a follow-up: \u201cMark this post for the future. The truth will come out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an unfortunate episode from Elon,\u201d White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told <\/span>The Daily Wire<\/span> at the time, saying Musk was \u201cunhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Musk, who also threatened to financially back a third political party, later de-escalated the feud and deleted several of his most inflammatory social media posts \u2014 including his Epstein allegations \u2014 and publicly acknowledged that some of his attacks on Trump \u201cwent too far.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Musk and Trump publicly reconciled at <\/span>Kirk\u2019s memorial service<\/span> in Arizona, where the two shook hands and spoke for the first time since their falling out. The reunion fulfilled a promise the late conservative activist made, who also helped elect Trump and transform an entire generation of young conservatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know both these guys\u2026 I am hopeful, optimistic, and will do everything I possibly can to try and bring this back together,\u201d Kirk <\/span>said<\/span> in June of last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has been a social media advocate for the administration\u2019s policies, despite recently acknowledging he got \u201ccarried away\u201d during his brief stint with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think I got a little too involved in politics,\u201d Musk <\/span>told<\/span> The Economist. \u201cI got carried away, frankly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, Musk\u2019s cash infusion will add to Republicans\u2019 already formidable financial advantage heading into the midterms. President Trump\u2019s super PAC has amassed a $400 million war chest. In contrast, the Democratic National Committee\u00a0reportedly owes about\u00a0$2 million<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

With control of both the House and Senate up for grabs, Republicans face significant headwinds heading into Election Day, including <\/span>elevated gas prices<\/span>, the lingering <\/span>war with Iran<\/span>, and President Trump\u2019s low approval ratings. The latest <\/span>RealClearPolitics <\/span>polling average gives Democrats a roughly 6.5-percentage point lead on the generic congressional ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n
