With less than a month to go before the US midterm elections in November, spending by big donors has hit eye-catching levels. According to a New York Times report, Elon Musk has contributed about $366 million to Republican groups and causes in the 2025-26 cycle, including $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund over the summer.
