据知情人士向美国广播公司（ABC 新闻）证实，科技巨头埃隆・马斯克计划深度参与本年度中期选举。他打算依托自己扶持的超级政治行动委员会 “美国政治行动委员会（America PAC）” 投入资金，在 11 月选举来临前推动共和党选民积极投票。
这名消息人士透露，美国政治行动委员会将重点开展上门游说、线上广告投放以及定向直邮宣传，目标锁定倾向共和党的选民，其中包含那些通常不愿参与中期选举、投票意愿偏低的群体。
消息人士暂未确认马斯克具体投入金额以及重点布局的州，但预计投入规模十分可观。
《纽约时报》周四报道，马斯克已授权旗下超级政治行动委员会，斥资 1 亿至 1．2 亿美元，在多个州推出线下动员项目，助力共和党候选人在 11 月选举中胜出。报道称，该组织计划布局以下联邦参议员选区竞选：阿拉斯加州、艾奥瓦州、缅因州、密歇根州与俄亥俄州。同时组织也在商讨是否加码北卡罗来纳州、得克萨斯州的参议员竞选。美国政治行动委员会还将和共和党其他机构协同行动。
该消息最先由阿克西奥斯新闻网曝光。
共和党阵营为迎接 11 月选举，早已积累巨额竞选资金，马斯克此次加码将进一步壮大其资金储备。
共和党全国委员会最新财务申报显示，该委员会手握近 1．3 亿美元竞选资金；与此同时，和特朗普绑定的 “让美国再次伟大公司（MAGA Inc．）” 拥有 4 亿美元资金，双方合计资金高达 5．3 亿美元。
本轮选举周期内，马斯克此前行事相对低调，但他依旧为威斯康星州最高法院选举提供支持，还曾向参议员候选人内特・莫里斯捐赠 1000 万美元。之后莫里斯退出竞选，并接受特朗普任命出任驻外大使。
早在 2024 年大选期间，马斯克就展现出自身政治影响力与资金实力。当时美国政治行动委员会投入超 2．5 亿美元助力特朗普争取连任，并在关键摇摆州动员选民。
不过马斯克与特朗普的关系并非一直融洽，二人去年曾爆发矛盾。马斯克一度扬言要组建第三政党。
特朗普第二任期第一年，马斯克被任命为 “政府特别雇员”，牵头成立政府效率部（DOGE），目标削减政府开支。今年 5 月离开政府团队后，马斯克开始猛烈抨击特朗普主推的《宏伟美好法案》。
消息人士表示，如今马斯克已经再度和特朗普团队沟通，商讨如何在中期选举前为共和党提供助力。
美国政治行动委员会发言人安德鲁・罗密欧向 ABC 新闻表示：“总统的竞选团队以及共和党各大机构已经搭建起成熟完善的竞选体系，有望打破历史规律，帮助共和党在今年秋季守住国会控制权。我们很高兴能够再次参与其中。”
Elon Musk readies major midterm investment for Republicans ahead of November： Sources
Tech billionaire Elon Musk is getting ready to play in this year’s midterm elections， with an investment plan to help strengthen GOP turnout in the lead-up to November through his aligned super PAC， America PAC， a source familiar with the plan confirmed to ABC News．
America PAC will focus on door-knocking， digital advertising and direct mail aimed at Republican-leaning voters， including low-propensity voters who typically don’tvote in midterm elections， the source told ABC News．
The source could not confirm exactly how much Musk would invest in the midterms and in which states， but it is expected to be a high number．
The New York Timesreported Thursday that Musk has authorized his super PAC to spend $100 million to $120 million on a new field program in several states to help elect Republicans in November． The Times reported that Musk＇s group plans to spend in the following Senate races： Alaska， Iowa， Maine， Michigan and Ohio． The group is also reportedly having conversations about spending in the North Carolina and Texas Senate races． America PAC will also coordinate with other groups in the GOP apparatus．
Axios was first to report the news．
Musk’s investment will contribute greatly to an already very well-funded war chest amassed by Republicans in the lead-up to November’s election．
The most recent financial disclosure from the Republican National Committee shows that the organization has just under $130 million in its war chest； meanwhile， MAGA Inc．， the organization aligned with Trump， has $400 million — a whopping $530 million combined．
Although Musk has stayed relatively quiet this election cycle， he still contributed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and also made a $10 million donation to then-Senate candidate Nate Morris before he suspended his campaign and accepted an ambassadorship position from Trump．
But it was during the 2024 election that Musk flexed his political clout and cash， with America PAC spending more than $250 million to support Trump during his reelection campaign and mobilizing voters in battleground states．
But Musk’s relationship with Trump has not always been good， with the two men having a falling out last year． At one point， Musk even threatened to create a third political party．
During the first year of Trump’s second term， Musk was appointed a ＂special government employee＂ to oversee the Department of Government Efficiency （DOGE）， aiming to cut government spending． Following Musk’s leaving the administration in May， he began heavily attacking Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill．
But now， Musk has also been in touch with Trump’s team about how he can help Republicans ahead of the midterm elections， sources say．
“The President’s political team and the rest of the GOP apparatus have built a top notch operation that will put Republicans in a strong position to buck history and retain control of Congress this fall， and we’re excited to again be part of the team．” America PAC spokesperson Andrew Romeo said to ABC News．
