Tech mogul Elon Musk poured $10 million into two major Republican super PACs at the end of last year, according to campaign finance disclosures submitted Saturday, as he once again takes a more active role<\/a> in GOP politics.<\/p>\n The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who had a public falling out with President Donald Trump last spring and said he was giving up on political spending<\/a>, gave $5 million in December to each of the Congressional Leadership Fund and Senate Leadership Fund, two groups that aim to help the GOP keep control of Congress this year.<\/p>\n It was Musk\u2019s second round of donations to both groups this cycle, having previously given in June<\/a>, amid his feud with Trump. Those contributions came shortly before Musk floated starting his own political party, an initiative that never seemed to gain much headway.<\/p>\n But Musk and Trump have patched up their differences more recently, with the tech CEO joining Trump for dinner at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month. Musk has also been back to advocating for Republican politics on X, which he owns, pushing for senators to pass a plussed up version of the SAVE Act, a bill that would require states to collect proof of citizenship<\/a> from people registering to vote.<\/p>\n Musk has thrown his support behind a version called the SAVE Act Plus, calling for ID requirements and a ban of mail voting<\/a> for most Americans along with other changes to election administration.<\/p>\n Musk was the biggest individual donor to political committees during the 2024 election cycle, spending roughly $290 million, mostly through his own super PAC, America PAC, in support of Trump.<\/p>\n In the first few months of the Trump administration, he played an active role with the Department of Government Efficiency, but began fighting with Trump<\/a> and Republicans around the president\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Musk also threw himself into a Wisconsin Supreme Court election in April where his preferred candidate lost by 10 points<\/a>.<\/p>\n Musk\u2019s funds accounted for just a fraction of total fundraising for both SLF and CLF. SLF raised nearly $77 million in the final six months of 2025 and had $100 million cash on hand, while CLF raised over $38 million over that period and had more than $54 million cash on hand.<\/p>\n
