Campaign Finance and Dark Money

Elon Musk donated $10 million to Fight for Kentucky, a super PAC aligned with pro‑Trump business outsider Nate Morris, boosting Morris’s bid in the Republican primary to succeed Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell. Morris — who has largely self‑financed and drawn small‑dollar donors — praised the gift as providing "firepower" to amplify his anti‑McConnell, pro‑Trump message; the donation is Musk’s largest in a Senate race, comes after his renewed support for Trump‑aligned candidates, and followed recent contact between Musk and Morris amid Musk’s ties to J.D. Vance.
