**[Lavish Spending of $276 Million: Musk Becomes the Largest Donor in U.S. Midterm Election History]** According to a report by *Golden Finance* on October 13, citing *The New York Times*, since early July, Elon Musk has quietly contributed over $276 million to Republican groups and their super political action committees (PACs) to launch large-scale mobilization efforts aimed at helping Republicans counter unfavorable conditions in the midterm elections. This massive funding has made Musk the largest donor in the history of U.S. midterm elections. To secure the Republican majority in the Senate, Musk donated a total of $158 million this summer to the "Senate Leadership Fund," marking one of the largest political donations in U.S. history. Musk also established significant Republican voter mobilization efforts through his super PAC, the "American Political Action Committee," founded in 2024. This summer, he donated over $76 million to the organization to build an extensive voter outreach program, aiming to mobilize hard-to-reach Republican voters. During the 2025-26 election cycle, Musk has already donated approximately $366 million to federal committees, far surpassing his contributions of around $290 million during the 2024 elections. According to insiders, he has also provided additional undisclosed donations during both election cycles.
