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.

    I would not be surprised to see someone trying to fund something like the teabagger movement after Taco’s exit. If they call it the “America party”, I would not be surprised. Whole lot of people will be too young to know or have strategic forgettery about the first teabagger movement. And the “mainstream media” is not likely to do a good job telling them, either, if they bothered to watch it. Certainly, their information bubbles will not.

    If fElon plays the role of financing and astroturfing that, I would not be surprised, either. He needs some way to disrupt anything that might end the corporate welfare pipeline or start up any inconvenient regulation of his companies…getting morons to vote for Republicans under the guise of a “new party” (teabagger/“Tea Party” 2.0) is a great way to do that.
