Elon Musk's super PAC spent more than $800,000 in August supporting Republican candidates in competitive congressional races, the first disclosed spending from a midterm effort that could ultimately exceed $100 million despite Musk's previous statements that he intended to reduce his political involvement.
Federal Election Commission filings released Wednesday show America PAC directed most of the money toward Senate contests, including nearly $248,000 in Texas, $170,000 in Maine and $106,000 in Ohio. The group also spent in New Hampshire, Iowa, Michigan and Alaska, as well as competitive House districts in several states.
