Musk backs Kentucky Senate bid with $10 million donation
Elon Musk donated $10 million to the Fight for Kentucky super PAC backing Nate Morris’s bid to succeed retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. The donation is Musk’s largest ever to a Senate candidate and signals that he intends to spend heavily in the 2026 midterms. Morris is an anti-immigration, self-funded outsider running in a Republican primary, positioning himself against McConnell and drawing support from conservative allies; Musk has shown ongoing engagement with pro‑Republican causes.
