2025年11月19日，华盛顿特区，埃隆·马斯克在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普发表讲话时旁观。
最新备案文件显示，埃隆·马斯克的超级政治行动委员会已披露其首次为共和党候选人出资，将约80万美元用于助力多个州的国会参选者。
这份由美国政治行动委员会（America PAC）于8月支出、周三晚间向联邦选举委员会披露的开支，涵盖印刷成本——这表明马斯克的政治团队正聚焦于直接的选民 outreach。此次开支包括帮助来自缅因州到得州等多场备受关注的参议院选举候选人。
此次新披露的开支中，最大的一笔超过24.7万美元，用于援助共和党参议院候选人肯·帕克斯顿。这位得州州检察长在电视广告投放上远不及得州民主党候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科。最近几周，美国政治行动委员会在X平台上的推送将塔拉里科作为目标，声称其观点与得州选民脱节。
作为全球首富，马斯克已经是中期选举中最大的资助者之一，他向自己的美国政治行动委员会投入了超过5000万美元，并向活跃于众议院和参议院选举的主要共和党超级政治行动委员会各捐赠1000万美元。他还向活跃于肯塔基州参议院选举的一个超级政治行动委员会捐赠了1000万美元。
美国政治行动委员会早前投资的其他竞选包括艾奥瓦州、新罕布什尔州、密歇根州和俄亥俄州的参议院席位争夺，以及新泽西州、纽约州、宾夕法尼亚州和弗吉尼亚州的关键众议院选区角逐。
此次行动标志着马斯克在与唐纳德·特朗普总统公开争执一年多后，重新涉足共和党政治。他曾一度威胁要创建自己的政党，后来放弃了该计划并与特朗普和解。
据一位熟悉该委员会计划的消息人士透露，该委员会已承诺助力共和党在11月的中期选举中保住众议院和参议院的多数席位，既会为共和党掌控的席位辩护，也会争取拿下目前由民主党掌控的选区。
Elon Musk’s super PAC starts spending to help GOP in midterms, including Texas’ Ken Paxton

Elon Musk’s super PAC has disclosed its first spending on behalf of Republican candidates, providing roughly $800,000 to help congressional contenders across several states, new filings show.
The expenditures by America PAC, made in August and disclosed on Wednesday night to the Federal Election Commission, cover printing costs – a sign that Musk’s political operation is focused on direct voter outreach. The spending includes help for candidates competing in high-profile Senate races from Maine to Texas.
The largest share of the newly disclosed spending, more than $247,000, went to aid Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general who has been vastly outspent on the airwaves by Texas’ Democratic nominee James Talarico. In recent weeks, America PAC’s feed on X has targeted Talarico, arguing that his views are out of touch with Texas voters.
Musk, the world’s richest person, already is one of the biggest funders in the midterm elections, plowing more than $50 million into his America PAC and donating $10 million each to the main Republican super PACs active in House and Senate races. He also has given $10 million to a super PAC active in Kentucky’s Senate race.
Other races where America PAC has made early investments include Senate contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan and Ohio and key House races in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The activity marks a reengagement in Republican politics for Musk more than a year after he publicly bickered with President Donald Trump. At one point, he threatened to start his own political party before abandoning those plans and reconciling with Trump.
The PAC has committed to helping Republicans retain their House and Senate majorities in November’s midterm elections, spending both to defend Republican-held seats and pick up districts now held by Democrats, according to a source familiar with the committee’s plans.
