Elon Musk Swings $10M Kentucky Dono Hammer After Promising Political Diet
KEY POINTS
- •Elon Musk donated $10 million to a super PAC supporting Nate Morris's 2026 Kentucky Senate campaign.
- •Morris met Musk recently and spoke favorably about Musk's excitement to back a businessman and entrepreneur candidate.
- •Musk had declared cutting back political spending in May 2025 but reversed course after supporting a failed Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate.
Back after declaring a 'political spending pause' sharper than a Tesla Autopilot swerve, Elon Musk funneled a cool $10 million into a GOP super PAC supporting Nate Morris, a Kentucky Senate hopeful vying to replace the retiring Mitch McConnell. This contribution is Musk's biggest since his $300 million 2024 GOP spree that crowned him the party's sugar daddy. Morris, pitching an 'America First' platform while hobnobbing on Donald Trump Jr.'s 'Triggered' podcast, scored Musk's bankroll post a 'terrific meeting' that apparently included no rocket science, just entrepreneur vibes. While Trump holds his endorsement cards close, Musk warns on X that 'America is toast' if the 'radical left wins.' This sudden turnout reverses Musk's May 2025 vow at the Qatar Economic Forum to cut back, just a month after he backed a failed Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate. Politically sober? Nope, just resting one eye.

Elon Musk’s political diet lasted less than a Tesla’s charge cycle. Kentucky’s big donor energy: same guy, different super PAC, still firing cash like it’s a Cybertruck launch.
Promising less political spending is Elon’s version of saying 'I’ll just have one chip'—then ordering the whole bag and a soda.
Elon’s $10M Kentucky drop is like his Twitter ownership: unpredictable, controversial, and borderline reckless with billions nobody asked for.
