Theodore Schleifer reports for the Times:

That sum, which includes disclosed donations to federal and state political groups since Jan. 1, 2025, breaks down as follows: 

• About $216 million to his own super PAC, America PAC, which is spending money across the country on an extensive field operation. Last year, the group spent about $47 million on an important state judicial race in Wisconsin, which Mr. Musk’s chosen candidate lost. 

• $168 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, the main super PAC backing Senate Republicans. Almost all of that money effectively went to support Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee in Texas. 

• $30 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the main super PAC backing House Republicans. 

• Another $44 million or so to other Republican groups or candidates at the federal level. 

• Roughly $16 million to state-focused political efforts in Michigan, Texas and Wisconsin.
