NYT: Musk preparing 9 figure spending campaign in support of Republicans in "swing" states like Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, and Texas.

The precise amounts could change, but Mr. Musk’s financial commitment is seen as secure enough that officials at his super PAC have relayed its budget to groups like MAGA Inc., President Trump’s super PAC — which also has yet to reveal its midterm spending plan. Mr. Musk’s group plans to initially target Senate races in at least five states — Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan and Ohio — and is having conversations about the contests in North Carolina, Georgia and Texas, according to two people with knowledge of the super PAC…
