But his support could be a huge boost for Trump’s Republicans next year as they try to stop Democrats from reclaiming power in Congress, particularly the House. Musk, the world’s richest person, was the biggest donor in the 2024 campaign, giving a mind-boggling $291.5 million — the vast majority to boost Trump’s reelection effort. Musk’s latest donations came after he had dinner last month with Vice President Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Taylor Budowich, a former White House deputy chief of staff who’s still wired into the administration. Vance, who’s close to Musk, helped organize the dinner at the vice president’s residence at the Naval Observatory. “Elon was a very significant part of the campaign last cycle and it wasn’t just the money. It was the impact that he brought, the energy that he brought to the campaign,” one source said, according to Fox Business. DEEP POCKETS: Elon Musk reportedly begins funding Republicans ahead of the 2026 midtermshttps://t.co/WZqsQRgXlW — Fox News (@FoxNews) December 16, 2025 Fox Business shared further: Musk strongly backed Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential contest and then went on to spearhead the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutting effort for a time. But the two men eventually had a falling out, and Musk indicated that he planned to launch a new political party called the America Party. But the tensions seem to have thawed. On the day of the memorial service for Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist assassinated in September, Musk shared a photo of himself with Trump and wrote, “For Charlie.” Last month, Musk was among the attendees at Trump’s White House dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
