Billionaire Elon Musk is quietly becoming one of the largest Republican megadonors of 2025—dropping tens of millions into conservative causes as his third-party fantasy fizzles.
On June 27, Musk wired $5 million to two GOP super PACs that support Republicans in the House and Senate.

In total, Musk shelled out over $45 million to his own America PAC between January and June. Of that, nearly $28 million came in the form of in-kind donations, while $17.9 million was handed over in cash. Some of that money funded $1 million “rewards” for voters who signed petitions.
America PAC burned through $47.3 million in that same six-month period, including $15.5 million in the first week of April alone. That week, the group dumped serious cash into the Florida special House elections and the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race.
