EDITOR BRIEF
The New York Times reports Elon Musk has donated at least $276 million to Republican groups since July, despite earlier suggestions he would reduce political spending. The largest share, $158 million, went to the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC focused on protecting and expanding the GOP’s Senate majority.
COMMENTARY
Musk’s spending shows how a small number of ultrawealthy donors can heavily influence competitive congressional races. His donations also deepen the overlap between business interests and partisan politics, especially in states central to his companies’ operations.
