Musk plans $100 million America PAC push for Republican midterms
Elon Musk plans $100 million push for Republicans in US midterms months after Trump feud: Report · livemint.com

Elon Musk is a very famous inventor who builds electric cars and rockets.

He also likes to help choose the people who run the United States.

So far he has given a lot of money to help a group called the Republicans, one of America's two big political parties.

Now he plans to give at least 100 million dollars to help Republican candidates in the election this November.

That is an enormous amount of money.

A little while ago, Musk was angry with President Trump, and the two stopped being friends.

He had earlier joined the government to run a special office called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

He even thought about starting his own brand-new political party, but he changed his mind.

Now they are friends again, and Musk wants to help Trump's team win more seats in Congress.

This time, he wants to stay in the background and mostly make sure people go out and vote.
