埃隆·马斯克的超级政治行动委员会（超级PAC）周三披露，该委员会上月斥资逾80万美元，助力共和党参议院和众议院候选人参与竞争激烈的选区，其中大部分资金投向了得克萨斯州和缅因州——这两个州的共和党人都在捍卫参议院席位。
美国优先政治行动委员会（America PAC）8月的这笔支出，可能只是这位全球首富的开场攻势。2024年，马斯克曾斥资数亿美元支持特朗普总统及其他共和党候选人。据《纽约时报》报道，马斯克已授权其超级PAC在11月的选举中斥资逾1亿美元助力共和党候选人。
此次披露的仅为8月份的独立支出明细。资金投向了本届选举季几乎所有预计竞争激烈的参议院选区：得克萨斯州（247595美元）、缅因州（170224.29美元）、俄亥俄州（105675美元）、新罕布什尔州（91458.50美元）、艾奥瓦州（54600美元）、密歇根州（25605美元）以及阿拉斯加州（17235美元）。
美国优先政治行动委员会还为弗吉尼亚州、纽约州、宾夕法尼亚州、佛罗里达州和威斯康星州竞争激烈的众议院选区的共和党在任议员及候选人提供了资金支持。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊向CBS新闻证实，他在得克萨斯州的竞选行程中与马斯克会面，该州有多个众议院选区处于摇摆状态，同时共和党人肯·帕克斯顿与民主党人詹姆斯·塔拉里科正在角逐参议院席位，竞争激烈。约翰逊拒绝透露他是否与马斯克讨论了为共和党中期选举提供资金支持的事宜。
“他已经公开了自己的很多行动。我会谈谈我们在这方面的对话，但我们一定会赢得中期选举，”他说道。
周三披露的所有支出都被归类为“印刷”，这表明资金用于邮寄广告。该支出由克里斯·杨签字确认，他是共和党幕僚，曾就职于马斯克领导的政府效率部，马斯克于2024年聘请他负责监督美国优先政治行动委员会并协调资金支出。
此外，据广告追踪公司AdImpact和Facebook广告库记录，美国优先政治行动委员会已在得克萨斯州、密歇根州、新罕布什尔州和缅因州的数字广告上花费逾20.7万美元。大部分广告是提醒选民投票的通用内容，其中一则广告出现了纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼。
广告内容写道：“你无法在他的选举中投票，而社会主义已宣布在这座美国最大城市取得胜利。如果你不在11月投票，社会主义就可能宣布征服整个美国。”
美国优先政治行动委员会2024年为共和党候选人提供的资助超过2.39亿美元。据美国联邦选举委员会（FEC）备案文件显示，特斯拉和SpaceX首席执行官马斯克是2024年选举周期两党中捐款最多的个人。
去年在接受采访时，被问及是否计划继续按同样的规模投入政治资金时，马斯克表示：“我认为在政治支出方面，未来我会大幅减少投入。”
“我认为我已经做得够多了，”他说道。

Elon Musk’s super PAC disclosed Wednesday that it spent over $800,000 last month to help Republican Senate and House candidates in competitive races, the bulk of it in Texas and Maine, where Republicans are defending Senate seats.
The August spending by America PAC is likely just the opening salvo for the world’s wealthiest person, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars supporting President Trump and other Republican candidates in 2024. Musk authorized his super PAC to spend over $100 million to help Republicans in November, according to The New York Times.
The disclosure lists spending for independent expenditures for just August. It was directed toward nearly all of the expected competitive Senate races this cycle: Texas ($247,595), Maine ($170,224.29), Ohio ($105,675), New Hampshire ($91,458.50), Iowa ($54,600), Michigan ($25,605) and Alaska ($17,235).
Republican incumbents and candidates in competitive House districts in Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin also saw spending from America PAC.
House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed to CBS News that he had met with Musk during a campaign swing in Texas, where several House districts are in play, in addition to a competitive Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. He declined to say whether he spoke with Musk about spending to help Republicans in the midterms.
“He’s made public a lot of what he’s doing. I’m going to talk about our conversation on that point, but we’re gonna win the midterms,” he said.
All of the spending disclosed on Wednesday was categorized for “PRINTING,” suggesting it was for mail advertisements. It was signed off by Chris Young, a GOP operative and former employee of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency whom Musk hired in 2024 to oversee America PAC and coordinate spending.
Separately, America PAC had spent over $207,000 on digital ads in Texas, Michigan, New Hampshire and Maine, according to advertisement tracking firm AdImpact and Facebook ad library records. Most are general reminders to vote, though one features New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
“You couldn’t vote in his election, and socialism declared victory over America’s biggest city. If you don’t vote in November, socialism could declare victory over America,” it read.
America PAC spent over $239 million to help Republican candidates in 2024. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, was the largest donor in the 2024 cycle for either party, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Asked in an interview last year if he was planning on continuing to spend at the same clip, Musk said: “I think in terms of political spending, I’m going to do a lot less in the future.”
“I think I’ve done enough,” he said.
