"Musk Political Group Takes on Local Races and New Targets
America PAC has spent big in Wisconsin and is exploring Nevada; Musk has business interests in both states
As Elon Musk’s government-shrinking operation slashed its way through federal agencies across Washington this month, one of his top lieutenants turned his attention to a smaller political arena, more than 2,000 miles away.
Chris Young, the top political strategist to Elon Musk who is also a senior adviser at Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, joined a video call last week with a Nevada political consultant to discuss how Musk’s America PAC could help turn Nevada’s seven-seat Clark County Commission Republican and shape the political landscape in Nevada, people familiar with the call said.
After spending hundreds of millions of dollars backing Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, America PAC is now exploring local races. Republican candidates across the country are wooing the group for support for the 2026 midterm elections and other political efforts. In Georgia, gubernatorial candidates have asked the group to play a role in that race, according to people familiar with the outreach. In other 2026 battleground states, including Arizona, Senate candidates have also reached out to the group.
One of the first tests of Musk’s local influence will come on April 1 in Wisconsin, where America PAC and another political nonprofit associated with Musk have spent more than $12 million to support Republican Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, through both ads and hundreds of thousands of door-knocks."
Let's roll. Make America Great Again means defeating the Democrats at EVERY level. Make the progs rue the day they went after Musk.
