Musk Revives America PAC for 2026 Midterms as SpaceX Wins $1.6 Billion Military Contract

3 articles · Updated · The New Republic · Jul 30

Summary

  • America PAC is being reactivated to aid Republicans in the 2026 midterms, with plans for door-knocking, direct mail and digital ads after Musk had said he would step back from politics.
  • At least $100 million is expected to flow through the super PAC, building on the $288 million Musk spent on Trump’s 2024 reelection effort and targeting key Senate races in multiple states.
  • The return comes as SpaceX has secured a $1.6 billion military contract, sharpening scrutiny of Musk’s renewed political role alongside major federal business.
  • America PAC’s 2024 operation drew criticism over data-collecting voter ads, partially pre-filled absentee ballot mailers in Georgia and canvassing problems that included fake door knocks and worker complaints.
