#texaspac — Public Fediverse posts

Hey Texans. Early voting starts Monday. Are you gonna let Elon Musk tell you how to vote?

#Musk poured $158 million into a key super PAC backing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s (R) Senate run.

Musk was the single donor to #TexasPAC, a political action committee backing Paxton’s run, in the third quarter, according to new federal election filings.

You remember #Paxton, he’s the one that let a child rapist go free after a day in jail, was impeached by his own party, has enriched himself to the tune of hundreds of millions, and was just photographed in Dubai partying with his mistress and some folks wanted for crimes in the US? Yeah, that’s who Elon is buying the election for.

The #Epstein class always hangs together…when they should all be hanged separately.

Most of #KenPaxton ’s Money Can Be Traced to One Man: #ElonMusk

The world’s richest person, who has become the biggest known midterm donor, gave $158 million to a group that quickly spent that much to help Mr. Paxton’s Senate bid in #Texas.

"If Ken Paxton wins in Texas, he may have Elon Musk to thank.

"Mr. Musk, the world’s richest person and a Texas resident who has major business interests in the state, sent $158 million in September to a #SuperPAC that immediately flipped that much money to a group backing Mr. Paxton’s Senate bid, according to campaign-finance filings released Thursday.

"The donations from Mr. Musk, collectively some of the biggest ever recorded in American politics, have allowed Mr. Paxton to remain financially competitive even as he is vastly outraised by his Democratic opponent, #JamesTalarico. Republicans in Texas have grown increasingly worried about the race, one of this year’s most expensive and high-profile contests, fearful of losing a statewide election in Texas for the first time in more than three decades.

"Mr. Musk sent the money to Senate Republicans’ top super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, in donations of $75 million on Sept. 9 and $83 million on Sept. 23. Each time, the very next day, the super PAC cut a check of the same amount to #TexasPAC, a group that the Senate Leadership Fund had set up to support Mr. Paxton.

"The money sent to the Texas group was not necessarily Mr. Musk’s, and super PAC officials have said publicly that they were seeking new donations to finance a pro-Paxton operation. But without Mr. Musk’s historic donations, it’s unlikely that such a large amount would have flowed Mr. Paxton’s way.

"Rarely has an individual donor been effectively tied to such a large commitment for a single candidate."
