ALBAWABA - Elon Musk is known to be an ally of right-wing politicians in the U.S., being firmly within the MAGA camp of American politics, he is reported to have spent $276 million in a show of support to his allies.
The figure comes from a New York Times report on Monday, which uses filings made by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to calculate that Musk has funneled at least $276 million to Republican groups and his own super PAC since July.
The Times estimates that, in total, Musk gave $366 million to Republicans in the 2025-26 election cycle, surpassing his previous hand-out of $290 million during the 2023-24 election cycle.
Alongside campaign contributions, Musk has given $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC that helps Republican candidates in Congress.

The Times has described the donation as:
“One of the largest political donations in American history, and more than the group’s Democratic rival raised from all of its donors that quarter.”
Musk has also given $76 million to his America PAC, the Times described it as: “a sprawling canvassing program to try to turn out hard-to-reach Republican voters” in the coming elections.
It is important to note that the $366 million figure is only the publicly disclosed amount; one source told the Times that Musk “has also made some seven-figure donations to support midterm candidates through groups that are not required to disclose their donors.”
The egregious spending has been described by Journalist Daniel Nichanian as “absolutely insane,” adding that Musk’s spending is “single-handedly destroying records and swamping [Democratic] candidates.”
