Elon Musk’s Latest Donations Shows He’s Not Done With MAGA Yet

Despite leaving the White House, Elon Musk has quietly donated massive amounts to Republican super PACs.

New campaign finance reports have revealed that Musk donated $15 million to two Republican super PACs in June.

Musk’s donation came right before he announced he was launching a new political party, the American Party.

MSN reported what specific PACs Musk donated to:

Billionaire Elon Musk may be gone from President Donald Trump’s White House, but he’s not done with Republican politics.

Musk made a pair of $5 million donations on June 27 to the main super PACs backing House and Senate Republicans. That made Musk the largest individual donor to both groups in the first six months of 2025, according to new campaign finance reports filed Thursday.

The new contributions are further proof of how Musk can make a big splash in politics by putting his signature on just one check. And they raise the question of how much more there might be before the midterms, despite Musk’s messy post-White House breakup with Trump and his statements about starting a third party in July, after the donation.

Musk’s June 27 donations supporting Senate Leadership Fund and Congressional Leadership Fund, the two GOP super PACs, came about a month after leaving his official post as an adviser to Trump and days before he began publicly discussing the idea of starting a new political party.
Meanwhile, other new campaign finance reports show Musk pumped $45.3 million into his own super PAC in the first six months of this year.

The tech billionaire gave nearly $17.9 million directly to the group and sent another $27.4 million in in-kind contributions, with Musk covering funds for million-dollar prizes to voters who signed petitions.

CNN reported more details on Musk’s contributions:

Billionaire Elon Musk donated a total of $15 million in June to super PACs favoring President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans ahead of next year’s midterm elections, new campaign finance reports show.

The donations of $5 million each to MAGA Inc., the Senate Leadership Fund and the Congressional Leadership Fund came on June 27 – amid Musk’s bitter feuding with President Donald Trump over federal spending legislation – and just days before the world’s richest man declared he would form his own political party.

he newly disclosed donations underscore Musk’s outsize influence in US politics and raise fresh questions about what role the mercurial businessman might play in elections moving forward.

The Tesla CEO emerged in Thursday’s filings as the largest individual contributor to each of those congressional super PACs. Separately, campaign reports with the Federal Election Commission show Musk this year plowed more than $45 million of his own money into America PAC, the super PAC he oversees – as he worked, unsuccessfully, to shape the outcome of a Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

In the 2024 election, Musk spent more than $290 million to help elect Trump and his favored congressional candidates. He served as a top White House adviser and the leader of the cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency for several months this year before stepping back from government work to focus on his companies.
