Elon Musk gave $10 million to Republican midterm efforts just before announcing his own America Party
PACs Congressional newsFacebookTweetLink Follow Billionaire Elon Musk donated a total of $10 million to a pair of super PACs aimed at helping Republicans retain their majorities in Congress after next year's midterm elections, new campaign finance reports show. The donations of $5 million each to the Senate Leadership Fund and the Congressional Leadership Fund came on June 27 – amid Musk's bitter feuding with President Donald Trump over federal spending legislation – and just days before the world's richest man declared he would form his own political party. The newly disclosed donations underscore Musk's outsize influence in US politics and raise fresh questions about what role the mercurial businessman might play in elections moving forward. The Tesla CEO emerged in Thursday's filings as the largest individual contributor to each of those congressional super PACs. Separately, campaign reports with the Federal Election Commission show Musk this year plowed more than $45 million of his own money into America PAC, the super PAC he oversees – as he worked, unsuccessfully, to shape the outcome of a Wisconsin Supreme Court race. In the 2024 election, Musk spent more than $290 million to help elect Trump and his favored congressional candidates. He served as a top White House adviser and the leader of the cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency for several months this year before stepping back from government work to focus on his companies. At the time, he signaled he also might pull back on his political spending. But by early July, Musk was publicly battling again with Trump and congressional Republicans over domestic policy legislation Musk said would explode the deficit. He also pledged to form the America Party, although there are few signs that he has taken concrete steps in that direction. Thursday's report with the FEC covers his super PAC's activity only through the end of June. CNN's Alex Leeds Matthews and David Adkins contributed to this report.

Smithsonian Removes Reference to Trump's Impeachments, but Says It Will Return
The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History this month removed a label referring to President Trump's two impeachments, a move museum officials said was part of a review of the institution's content for bias. The temporary label was added in 2021 to an exhibition about the American presidency. The label also included information about the impeachments of former Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, as well as about former President Richard M. Nixon, who faced possible impeachment before resigning from office. Mr. Trump is the only American president to have been impeached twice, in 2019 and again in 2021. He was acquitted both times after facing trials in the Senate. The removal of the label, which was reported earlier by The Washington Post, came after the Smithsonian's Board of Regents, which governs the institution, recently committed to reviewing its content under pressure from the Trump administration. Mr. Trump has called for a more positive framing of the country's history in Smithsonian museums, and tried to fire the director of the National Portrait Gallery, accusing her of being political. The label was part of an exhibit called 'The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden,' which opened in 2000 but has not been updated substantially since 2008. The museum removed the temporary label until a fuller update could be undertaken, the Smithsonian said. 'In reviewing our legacy content recently, it became clear that the 'Limits of Presidential Power' section in 'The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden' exhibition needed to be addressed,' Linda St. Thomas, a Smithsonian spokeswoman, said in a statement. 'The section of this exhibition covers Congress, the Supreme Court, impeachment and public opinion. Because the other topics in this section had not been updated since 2008, the decision was made to restore the impeachment case back to its 2008 appearance.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
