Musk May Donate 'At Least $100 Million' to Republicans, House Speaker Plans Meeting

On August 28, according to Politico, four sources familiar with the matter said that U.S. House Speaker Johnson plans to meet with top Republican donor Elon Musk in Texas on Friday. The meeting comes as Johnson campaigns for Republican candidates across Texas ahead of the midterm elections.

This is also the latest sign that Republican leaders want Musk to contribute heavily to help the GOP retain control of Congress. Sources said Musk's schedule remains fluid, and the meeting could be adjusted at the last minute. According to reports, the tech billionaire is considering donating at least $100 million to Republicans through his super PAC, America PAC, for this year's midterm elections, though where the funds will ultimately go remains unclear. Two of the sources said some Republicans believe Musk is considering directing part of the funds to key competitive House Republican districts.
