Musk plans massive push for GOP in midterms

I hate being in the position of knowing that the Republicans are basically useless, but that they are still 10 times better than the alternative and that they must win -
yet here we are.
Axios
yet here we are.
quote:
Tech billionaire Elon Musk is jumping into the midterms with a huge investment in a plan to boost Republican voter turnout, Axios has learned.
Musk is resuscitating his dormant super PAC, America PAC, which spent more than $260 million to help get President Trump elected in 2024.
America PAC will focus on door-knocking, digital advertising and direct mail aimed at turning out the conservative base, including voters who typically are less inclined to cast ballots in a non-presidential election year, sources with knowledge of the plans tell Axios.
Musk's representatives declined to specify exactly how much he'd spend. But given what he donated in 2024, the number is expected to be high.
Zoom in: Musk's pro-Trump donations through America PAC in 2024 made him the largest individual political donor in a single election cycle in U.S. history.
"America PAC was an essential partner for our historic GOTV operation in 2024, and their return for 2026 is a huge boost for Republicans across the country," James Blair, President Trump's senior political adviser, told Axios.
"We will again outsmart our opponents and ruthlessly execute our mission for the GOP between now and Election Day," Blair added.
The big picture: Musk's investment will add to a huge Republican cash edge over Democrats at a time when Trump's low approval ratings — particularly on the economy and the Iran war — have put GOP control of the House, and perhaps the Senate, in jeopardy in the Nov. 3 elections.

bullshite. Nothing is in jeopardy. The Marxist commies claiming to be Democrats have less than 2 million dollars for the mid terms. Besides the fact that they are broke. They are liberal commie Marxist assholes and no one with a hint of brain activity would vote theirselves into chains.

And this ^^^ is the crux of our fight, weak, squishy uncommitted incumbents.
Currently we have mostly ineffective and weak republican congressional members serving and the MAGA/America First candidates who are trying to unseat them are fighting a lot of Big Donor money

The GOP needs a radical wing like the commies. LaurenB, APL, maybe even Rand.
Will be business as usual if GOP hangs on

Not necessarily. Money isn't everything, especially when you're competing against millions of brain damaged DEI loving, Trump-despising wackjobs .

Occurred to me today that democrats pushing Elon Musk to the right is perhaps the greatest unforced political blunder in all of human history. And what’s worse is that they still don’t see their folly and continue to think making the richest and most powerful human a greater enemy will somehow work out well for them.

I wouldn’t be so cocky. The democrats have a history of pulling in money and paying off their massive debts by the billionaires they claim to hate. They’ll also funnel money through other means, but that’s been hampered somewhat if the USAID exposures recently.

Well Elon attempting to buy the November Mid Terms is certainly no surprise.That 290 million Musk dumpted into Trump's 2024 presidential campaign sure came in handy.
The question remains whether $$$$ can overcome Trump's lowest approval rateing in history along with all very negative polls on:" Iran war,gas prices,groceries prices, and in general health care.The Republicans being totally underwater for Affordability to the Democrats will finally bite the Cult and company in the arse.

You will be in for a surprise in November. There is zero voter enthusiasm for the GOP right now. Zilch. I’m worried about the Paxton race here in Texas for one.

Why? Everyone has been lashing out at Fauci lately and a Republican imposed Fauci on us

I don't think there is voter enthusiasm anywhere. Americans know that no politicians give a shite about regular Americans, only themselves.

I don’t know about enthusiasm but there is a lot of anger on the left similar to 2018.

Yeah, the Mamdani revolution is retarded, but the left is sick of the establishment and wants to burn it all down IMO. We should all be concerned that if people are disillusioned by right populism, they will go to lefty populism.

Traditional Democrats are finished. Their card is punched. They will be replaced, or more likely absorbed, by a Mamdani-led Democratic Socialist bureaucracy in short order. Though Mayor Zohran is even more overrated as an orator than Barack Obama or Ronald Reagan, he’s now proven that he possesses their same transformational political skill, as his gambit backing three shaky DSA candidates and easily winning all three hands was a masterstroke, one that did mark “a new era for the Democratic Party,” as CNN analyst Van Jones put it.
