Overview
- In an interview with The Gateway Pundit, Vice President J.D. Vance said he hopes Musk will “come back into the fold” by the midterms and called his split from President Trump a mistake.
- Federal Election Commission records show that on June 27 Musk donated $5 million each to MAGA Inc., the Senate Leadership Fund and the Congressional Leadership Fund, plus roughly $27 million to AMERICA PAC.
- Building America’s Future, a nonprofit partly backed by Musk, is rolling out more than $1 million in ads supporting the One Big Beautiful Bill.
- Last month’s public feud saw Musk label the spending plan a “disgusting abomination,” delete an unverified accusation against Trump on X and later issue an apology.
- Despite these signs of rapprochement, Musk’s reported consideration of forming a separate party leaves his long-term alignment with the MAGA coalition in doubt.
