Far-right billionaire Elon Musk is spending an unprecedented fortune helping the Republican Party maintain its majorities in Congress, according to a Monday report in The New York Times.
The Times used filings made with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to calculate that Musk has funneled at least $276 million to GOP groups and his own super political action committee (PAC) since July alone.
In total, the Times estimated that Musk has given $366 million in campaign contributions during the 2025-26 election cycle, which is even more than the $290 million he gave during the 2023-24 election cycle to return President Donald Trump and the GOP to power.

How is that insane? The guy had trillion $ at one point. Donating $276 million for him is like me donating ~$400.

Here’s a crazy idea: political parties should receive one set amount of money from a set fund, and all fundraising and private political contributions should be illegal.

This is one of the few immigrants I’d actually like to have deported. Nazi scum like him is what’s ruining this country.

An official looking comment asking OP to confirm they are not a bot, IIRC. I followed the link and it went to a page that just said ‘ok’ or something like that.
I was fooled, I thought it was an account affiliated with the community, judging by its name.
