Elon Musk has given at least $276 million to Republican groups and his super PAC since July. That makes him the top known donor of the midterms.
$158 million went to the Senate Leadership Fund, the top GOP Senate super PAC.
Nearly $300 million came from Musk in 2024 to help elect Trump.
Musk said in May 2025 he would scale back political spending.
The New York Times first reported the figure.
Why it matters: Musk's money arrives as Republicans fight to hold the Senate in several states Trump carried. GOP groups are moving spending toward races they think they can win.
Senate Leadership Fund plans nearly $200 million in Texas to help Ken Paxton.
Ohio, Alaska and Iowa are races GOP officials call critical to the majority.
