Musk diving into 2026 midterms for the GOP

Elon Musk has begun funding the GOP's House and Senate campaigns for the 2026 midterms—an indication his relationship with President Trump has thawed since their messy breakup earlier this year. Musk—who threatened to launch a third party and support challengers to Republican incumbents during his dispute with President Trump—is now firmly back in the GOP's camp. The tech billionaire recently cut big checks to help Republicans win congressional races next year and indicated he'd give more throughout the 2026 cycle. Musk's donation amounts won't be disclosed publicly until campaign finance reports are released next month. But his support could be a huge boost for President Trump's Republicans in 2026 as they try to stop Democrats from reclaiming power in Congress, particularly the House.
