The planned meeting Friday comes as Musk is reportedly considering spending at least $100 million to boost the GOP this fall.
Speaker Mike Johnson is planning to meet with GOP megadonor Elon Musk in Texas on Friday, according to four people familiar with the meeting.
The effort, first reported by POLITICO, comes as Johnson stumps for Republican candidates across the Lone Star State ahead of the midterms. It’s the latest sign that GOP leaders hope Musk will spend heavily to help the party keep control of Congress. The people familiar with the planning, who were granted anonymity to discuss private details, cautioned that Musk’s schedule is fluid and there could be a last-minute change.
The tech billionaire is reportedly considering spending at least $100 million for the GOP through his super PAC, America PAC, on this year’s midterms — but the full scope of where that spending will take place remains unclear. Some Republicans believe Musk is weighing directing some of that money to key House GOP battleground races, according to two of the people.
One with a satchel of cash, the other with a satchel of voter fuckery.
They’re going to be meeting in person at the same time and place?
