Elon Musk and his America PAC have big plans to help President Trump and Republicans maintain their congressional majorities through the midterms. Musk is planning a massive push to help GOP voter turnout, a move that will pad the Republicans' significant cash advantage.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is jumping into the midterms with a huge investment in a plan to boost Republican voter turnout, Axios has learned.

Driving the news: Musk is resuscitating his dormant super PAC, America PAC, which spent more than $260 million to help get President Trump elected in 2024.

  • America PAC will focus on door-knocking, digital advertising and direct mail aimed at turning out the conservative base, including voters who typically are less inclined to cast ballots in a non-presidential election year, sources with knowledge of the plans tell Axios.
  • Musk's representatives declined to specify exactly how much he'd spend. But given what he donated in 2024, the number is expected to be high.

Zoom in: Musk's pro-Trump donations through America PAC in 2024 made him the largest individual political donor in a single election cycle in U.S. history.

  • "America PAC was an essential partner for our historic GOTV operation in 2024, and their return for 2026 is a huge boost for Republicans across the country," James Blair, President Trump's senior political adviser, told Axios.
  • "We will again outsmart our opponents and ruthlessly execute our mission for the GOP between now and Election Day," Blair added.

That sound you hear is Democrats panicking.

That ground game is something Democrats were good at, and Republicans are getting better at.

That would be funny.

"THANK YOU, ELON. Always putting America first," the poster wrote.

As Axios noted, Musk's donations through America PAC made him the largest individual political donor in a single election cycle. It helped President Trump win reelection in 2024 and might help the GOP hold on to the House and Senate in November.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
