Elon Musk could be preparing to unleash a staggering political spending operation in Texas as Republicans battle to hold onto one of the most closely watched Senate seats of the 2026 midterm elections.
According to a report from journalist Mark Halperin, people familiar with discussions surrounding Musk’s political operation say the billionaire and his team are weighing an investment of at least $50 million in Texas. The potential figure could climb as high as $200 million before voters head to the polls.
If that level of spending materializes, it would mark a major escalation in Musk’s political activity this election cycle and could dramatically reshape the expensive Texas Senate contest.
