Top GOP midterm donor says Democrats will cause the 'end of democracy'
NJ.com • • nation
Key Points:
- Elon Musk, the largest individual donor in this election cycle, warned that a Democratic sweep of the House and Senate would be "game over for America," citing concerns about statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico, open borders, and expanding the Supreme Court.
- Musk argued that such a Democratic victory would lead to a permanent one-party state and the end of meaningful democracy, urging voters to support Republicans to maintain at least 51 GOP senators.
- As of October, Musk has donated around $445 million to help preserve GOP control of Congress, surpassing previous top donors like George Soros and his own 2024 contributions.
- Musk's donations have supported his America PAC, Senate and congressional leadership funds, and GOP candidate efforts in Texas, his home state.
- Despite Musk's efforts, national polls show Democrats with a sizable advantage on generic congressional ballots, though GOP leaders, including Trump, claim these polls aim to suppress Republican voter turnout.
