Elon Musk is reactivating his political efforts ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, including a $10 million donation to a Republican Senate candidate this year. His political team, led by strategist Chris Young, is focusing on digital and text marketing to mobilize Trump supporters for midterm and local elections. The renewed cooperation between Musk and former President Trump builds a pragmatic alliance, with Musk promoting government downsizing, spending cuts, deregulation, and voting citizenship verification.
