Elon Musk Planning to Throw Financial Support Behind Susan Collins’ U.S. Senate Bid
America PAC plans door-knocking, digital ads and mailers to target low-turnout Republican voters as it joins a broader effort to protect the Senate majority.
- Tech billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly authorized his America PAC to spend between $100 million and $120 million on a voter turnout program targeting Senate races in at least eight states, including Maine, to help Republicans retain control.
- The initiative focuses on door-knocking, digital advertising, and direct mail to boost turnout among Republican-leaning voters, particularly those who typically skip midterm elections, while coordinating with established GOP organizations.
- Republican Sen. Susan Collins, facing Democratic nominee Troy Jackson, benefits from the investment while holding more than $11 million in campaign cash; the Senate Leadership Fund has committed more than $42 million to the Maine race.
- Republicans hold 53 Senate seats and aim to leverage this national spending to maintain their majority in Congress, according to an America PAC spokesperson who confirmed the group is "excited to contribute to Republicans efforts this fall."
- Musk's return to politics follows a public reconciliation with President Donald Trump after the tech billionaire told The Economist he "got carried away" with his brief venture, which included leading the controversial Department of Government Efficiency in 2025.
