Elon Musk Decides 10 Million Is Just Pocket Change for Pro-Trump Rule

KEY POINTS

•Elon Musk contributed $10 million last week to Nate Morris's super PAC supporting his Senate campaign in Kentucky.
•Morris launched his campaign on Donald Trump Jr.'s podcast and positions himself against Mitch McConnell and immigration.
•Despite a public Musk-Trump falling out last year, Musk is deepening GOP ties with more big donations this year.

In what looks like Elon Musk’s new hobby (after pretending to quit Twitter and throw shade at Trump), the world’s richest dude threw a casual $10 million check to Nate Morris, the anti-McConnell, pro-Trump Kentucky Senate hopeful who started from a $10,000 line of credit and now wants to trash immigration policies with the same zeal he recycles trash via Rubicon. This hefty gift, Musk’s biggest yet for any Senate candidate, comes hot on the heels of a November VIP dinner with VP Vance and White House staffers. Despite a 2024 break-up with Trump and threats of a third party, Elon's back in GOP’s peanut gallery, having already poured $300 million post-2024 primaries mostly for Team Trump. Nate, a nine-generation Kentuckian with endorsements from dead Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, and senators who wait in suspiciously long MAGA lines, is gunning to keep Mitch’s throne while Musk lines his political recycling bin with political garbage that smells like money.
