Elon Musk Donates $158 Million to Support Ken Paxton's Texas Senate Campaign
Billionaire Elon Musk donated $158 million to a Republican super PAC supporting Ken Paxton's Texas Senate campaign, marking one of the largest political contributions in recent US elections. The funds were routed through the Senate Leadership Fund and a Texas PAC backing Paxton, who faces Democrat James Talarico in a closely watched and costly race. Musk's donations aim to help Republicans retain control amid concerns about losing a statewide Texas election for the first time in decades. The race has drawn significant attention due to its potential impact on Congress.
