Elon Musk is re-entering the political arena ahead of the 2026 midterms, giving millions to Republican super PACs and key races, including $10 million to the Kentucky Senate race, The Hill reported.

Axar.az reports that after stepping back from politics in 2025, Musk’s renewed donations signal he could once again influence the fight for Congress.

While his financial support is significant for the GOP, his polarizing presence has previously stirred controversy, including failed political bets in Wisconsin and backlash over his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.

Democrats see both opportunity and risk in Musk’s involvement, as off-year frustrations could be leveraged against Republicans. Meanwhile, Musk faces scrutiny over his platform X’s AI content issues and past associations with Jeffrey Epstein. Despite this, Musk’s wealth and influence, combined with SpaceX’s growing valuation, make him a pivotal figure in U.S. politics.
