Elon Musk is expected to back the GOP in next year’s midterms with a financial package that could give the Republican Party a “huge boost.”

Insiders speaking to Axios claim the Tesla CEO could offer his support to Donald Trump and the Republican Party at the 2026 election, despite previously saying he would create a third party. Musk had enjoyed a close relationship with the Trump administration at the start of this year, though it soon soured. The president and Musk were spotted dining together alongside Cristiano Ronaldo recently, and it appears their relationship has been mended, Axios reported.

It appears the dinner did wonders for how Musk feels about the GOP and Trump, with insiders suggesting the money donated to the party’s election efforts could be a massive aid.

    That doesn’t make any sense.

    Because if they were doing that, they’d have people who wanted to do it and wouldn’t require a bribe.

    If they were bribing people, they’d demand payment be made after, and then just not pay them

    Under no circumstance would they pay first and hope to not get ratfucked, because they fuck over everyone else at the drop of a hat.

      Sounds like you’re claiming politicians dont accept bribes. Which is verifiably false.

      They can pay before or after, if the politician doesn’t follow through on their end wealthy people have other ways to make them pay.

      Or maybe the word gets out that a particular politician isn’t delivering. With the resources that the wealthy have they can run a smear campaign and ruin that politicians career.

      Not to mention Clarence Thomas was bribed by letting him use a super yacht. If he didn’t follow through on his end the owner could just not let him use the yacht anymore.

      There are many ways to skin this cat.
