KY-SEN: Musk shocks with $10 million donation in Ky. Senate race [View all]
Elon Musk has cut a massive $10 million check to bolster Nate Morris, an outsider, pro-Trump candidate running to succeed retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Axios has learned.
Why it matters: The stunning gift is the biggest sign yet that Musk plans to spend big in the 2026 midterms, giving Republicans a formidable weapon in the expensive battle to keep their congressional majorities.
Zoom out: After a bitter falling out with President Trump last year and threatening to start a third party, Musk is now firmly back in the GOP camp.
Musk, the world's richest person, also recently gave major contributions to the pro-House and Senate GOP super PACs, Axios reported last month.
