Elon Musk begins funding GOP's House and Senate campaigns for 2026 midterms

Elon Musk is now funding the GOP's House and Senate campaigns for the 2026 midterms, signaling a thaw in his relationship with Trump. After previously threatening to support challengers to Republicans, Musk is firmly back with the GOP. He has made significant donations to help Republicans win congressional races, specifically aiming to maintain control of the House.

Musk was the biggest donor in the 2024 campaign, contributing $291.5 million, mainly to support Trump's reelection. His recent donations follow a dinner with Vice President Vance and other key figures close to the administration.

Despite a bitter fallout earlier this year, Musk has expressed regret over his remarks about Trump. Both are now in a better place, though their relationship may not return to its former closeness.
