Elon Musk ramps up spending before the election to support Republicans

Billionaire and X owner Elon Musk is ramping up the money his super PAC, America PAC, spends in the final 50 days before the November election.

America PAC is reportedly investing $10 million in turnout for races for the House, which the GOP is seeking to keep control of, according to a report from Punchbowl News, and is spending tens of millions to support former President Donald Trump‘s campaign.

Two of the states the investment will go toward include New York and California, which will likely decide whether Democrats or Republicans are in control of the House.

The investment will target more than 24 congressional districts with get-out-the-vote efforts, such as canvassing and digital ads.

America PAC is also increasing its efforts to aid Trump in the swing states that will decide the election.

The super PAC has spent almost $33 million since the middle of last month, aiding Trump with door-knocking, digital advertising, and mailers to voters in battleground states, according to a Washington Post report.

In Pennsylvania, the most important battleground state, mailers have gone out to voters in Philadelphia, a Democratic enclave, in support of Trump’s campaign.

“President Trump has given us a mission: Whether you vote absentee, by mail, or in person, you need to make a plan to register and vote any way possible!” the mailer, obtained by the Washington Examiner, reads over a photo of Trump after a failed assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

A get-out-the-vote mailer was sent to a Philadelphia voter in support of Donald Trump. The super PAC responsible for the mailer, America PAC, was funded by Elon Musk.

In Pittsburgh, Trump Force 47 volunteers passed out America PAC fliers that also pushed voters to create a plan to vote in the election. The flier featured an illustration of Trump appearing as Uncle Sam with the caption: “I want you to make your plan to vote absentee or early, or on Election Day!”

Mailers have also gone out in North Carolina, a state Vice President Kamala Harris is hoping to flip blue for the first time since 2008. The fliers reportedly have branded Harris as “Radical. Liberal. Dangerous.”

The super PAC is spending $100,000 on ads on X, more than double the $37,000 it spent last month, while it spent $383,000 on Google ads, according to the Washington Post. Most of the X ads are targeting people in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia, while the Google ads are targeting people in Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada.

Musk said he would spend $45 million per month supporting America PAC after it was formed earlier this year to aid Trump’s ground-game operations.

 

Musk endorsed Trump’s campaign in July after he survived the assassination attempt in Butler, and he held a two-hour live conversation with Trump on X in mid-August.

The Washington Examiner reached out to America PAC for comment.
