Musk ready to "back" Republicans in Midterms. And he's SOOOO GOOD with ELECTION SYSTEM COMPUTERS! Just ask Trump! [View all]

Musk is expected to back the GOP in next year's midterms with a financial package that could give the Republican Party a "huge boost."

Insiders speaking to Axios claim the Tesla CEO could offer his support to Donald Trump and the Republican Party at the 2026 election, despite previously saying he would create a third party. Musk had enjoyed a close relationship with the Trump administration at the start of this year, though it soon soured. The president and Musk were spotted dining together alongside Cristiano Ronaldo recently, and it appears their relationship has been mended, Axios reported.

It appears the dinner did wonders for how Musk feels about the GOP and Trump, with insiders suggesting the money donated to the party's election efforts could be a massive aid.

Axios reported, "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 had invested big in Trump's re-election campaign in 2024, throwing $291 million at the ultimately successful re-election effort.''
