Musk says PAC will ‘keep grinding’ through midterms

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said early Tuesday that his political action committee (PAC), America PAC, will continue working to support Republicans through the midterm elections and will be involved in primary contests.

“Normally, PACs go somewhat dormant after a big election,” Musk wrote in a post on the social platform X, which he owns.

“@America PAC is going to do the opposite and keep grinding, increasing Republican registrations in key districts around the country, in preparation for special elections and the midterms,” he continued.

“And, of course, play a significant role in primaries,” Musk added.

Musk’s super PAC spent approximately $200 million to help elect President-elect Trump in the 2024 campaign cycle, according to The Associated Press, citing a person familiar with the group’s spending.

The AP reported that Musk personally contributed the vast majority of that money to America PAC.

Musk became one of Trump’s key surrogates on the campaign trail in the crucial battleground of Pennsylvania and is expected to play an influential role in Trump’s second administration.

Trump has said he would create a new government efficiency commission for Musk to lead.
