纽约7月30日路透电——《纽约时报》周四报道，埃隆·马斯克支持特朗普的政治团体计划斥资最高1.2亿美元，在11月的国会选举中提升共和党选民的投票率。
美国政治行动委员会在给路透社的一份声明中表示，预计将在共和党选民投票率提升行动中发挥重要作用，并辩称尽管历史上中期选举通常有利于反对党，但共和党已做好保留国会控制权的准备。

“我们很高兴再次加入团队，”美国政治行动委员会发言人安德鲁·罗密欧在声明中说道。
他拒绝透露更多细节，包括美国政治行动委员会的计划支出金额，但证实了Axios此前的报道——该政治行动委员会计划在上门拉票、数字广告和直邮宣传上投入“巨额资金”，以动员保守派选民投票。
此次行动将成为2026年中期选举规模最大的外部支出竞选活动之一，进一步巩固马斯克作为共和党最具影响力的筹款人之一的地位。这位特斯拉和SpaceX的亿万富翁首席执行官在2024年曾大手笔资助总统唐纳德·特朗普及其他共和党候选人的竞选。
当前特朗普的公众支持率下滑，选民对经济不满，共和党与民主党之间存在热情差距，民主党正试图拿下国会参众两院的控制权。马斯克注入的资金可能会极大助力共和党动员选民的行动。
《泰晤士报》援引两名匿名知情人士的话报道，此次投票动员行动将覆盖至少八个州。该报称，马斯克已为该计划批准1亿至1.2亿美元的资金。
路透社查阅的联邦竞选财务文件显示，美国政治行动委员会自2025年1月1日起已花费5230万美元。这份文件显示，该超级政治行动委员会在本次选举周期中已筹集5030万美元，其中约5000万美元直接来自马斯克。
所谓的超级政治行动委员会可以接受来自个人和企业的无限额捐款，支出也不受限制，但不得与候选人或竞选团队直接协调。
作为全球首富，马斯克个人已为中期选举捐赠逾8500万美元，其中包括他捐给美国政治行动委员会的款项。

NEW YORK, July 30 (Reuters) – Elon Musk’s pro-Trump political group is planning to spend up to $120 million to turn out Republican voters in the November congressional elections, the New York Times reported on Thursday.
America PAC said in a statement to Reuters that it expects to play a major role in the Republican voter turnout effort and argued that the party is well positioned to retain control of Congress despite historical trends that often favor the opposition party in midterm elections.

“We’re excited to again be part of the team,” Andrew Romeo, the spokesperson for the America PAC, said in the statement.
He declined to provide further details, including how much America PAC plans to spend, but confirmed an earlier report from Axios that said that the political action committee planned to make a “huge investment” on door knockers, digital advertising and a direct-mail campaign to turn out conservative voters.
The effort would mark one of the biggest outside spending campaigns of the 2026 midterms and further cement Musk’s position as one of the Republican Party’s most influential financiers. The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX chief spent heavily to help elect President Donald Trump and other Republican candidates in 2024.
With Trump’s public approval ratings sagging and the electorate sour on the economy, Republicans face an enthusiasm gap with Democrats, who are seeking to win control of both chambers of Congress. Musk’s infusion of cash could provide a major boost to the Republican effort to galvanize voters.
The voting drive will run across at least eight states, the Times reported, citing two people briefed on the plans who spoke anonymously. Musk has authorized between $100 million and $120 million on the program, the newspaper reported.
America PAC has already spent $52.3 million since January 1, 2025, according to federal campaign finance filings reviewed by Reuters. The super PAC has raised $50.3 million so far in this election cycle with roughly $50 million of that coming directly from Musk, the filings show.
So-called super PACs can accept an unlimited amount of money from individuals and corporations. They can also spend as much as they want, but they can’t coordinate directly with candidates or campaigns.
Musk, the richest person in the world, has personally donated more than $85 million toward the midterms, including the money he has donated to America PAC.
