Musk says he will donate to Massie amid reignited Trump feud
- Elon Musk has publicly declared his support and financial backing for Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie's 2026 campaign as part of an ongoing conflict with Donald Trump.
- The endorsement comes after the Senate narrowly approved President Trump’s legislation involving tax reductions and spending measures on June 30 and July 1, a plan strongly opposed by Massie and Musk because it is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit.
- Massie claims he has a bloc of at least 10 House Republicans ready to vote against the bill amid warnings from Trump to back a primary challenger and attacks calling Massie a “loser.”
- Musk called the legislation a “debt bomb ticking” and a “disgusting abomination,” while tweeting “I will” when asked if he would support Massie’s reelection bid.
- Musk’s backing highlights his break with Trump and signals ongoing political tensions, with potential implications for the Republican Party and future spending debates.
