Musk pours $800k into GOP Senate races, backing Paxton and Collins

Elon Musk has contributed over $800,000 to Republican Senate campaigns, with the largest sum ($247,595) going to Texas AG Ken Paxton's Senate bid since August and the second-largest to Senator Susan Collins. This marks a notable escalation in Musk's political spending ahead of the 2026 midterms, signaling alignment with GOP candidates. The move could influence Republican primary dynamics and general election fundraising.
