Elon Musk indicates hes going all in on financing the GOP ahead of the midterms: America is toast if the radical left wins
In the aftermath of his spectacular falling out with President Donald Trump last year, Elon Musk blasted the Republican Party as a corrupt force that was "bankrupting" the United States of America.
But now, after months in the political wilderness, the volatile tech baron has indicated that he will once again devote his enormous fortune to electing GOP politicians, this time ahead of the midterm elections in 2026.
"America is toast if the radical left wins," declared Musk on X Thursday. "They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud. Wont be America anymore."
Musk's post quoted, and seemingly confirmed, another post from a conservative influencer who claimed that Musk was "going all-in" on funding Republicans this year.

Elon the NAZI can afford to buy the political outcomes he wants by buying the politicians he wants.

Needs to STFU and go back to whence he came. He's totally the kind we don't need in this world, in this country or any other.
Serious waste of clean air that should be put to better use by endangered species.

he will be able to spread a lot of money around and it behooves us to pay attention to how he does it and disrupt his efforts.

(99,882 posts)7. I agree...
I just wish he'd fall off the planet already.

(887 posts)5. Yeah, because the democrats
will destroy all that he hasn't accomplished.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, aimed to cut federal spending by $2 trillion.
He claims to have cut $61 billion but only $32.5 billion has supporting documentation.
