Musk has spent $366 million this cycle to hold the House and Senate, already more than the $290 million he put into 2024

Reuters and the Times: $366 million total on the 2025-26 cycle so far. $276 million of that since July alone. Breakdown of the recent tranche: $158 million to Senate Leadership Fund, $20 million to Congressional Leadership Fund, $76 million to his America PAC, $10 million to Lone Star Liberty PAC for Ken Paxton in Texas, plus smaller sums to governors and attorneys general groups. America PAC spokesman confirmed the numbers. In 2024 he spent roughly $290 million, almost all of it for Trump and the presidential race through America PAC. This cycle the money is aimed at Senate battlegrounds and House races as Democratic odds have risen to roughly 90 percent for the House and 60-64 percent for the Senate. Full third-quarter filings expected later this week.
