Elon Musk spent another $10 million to keep the GOP in control of Congress

Elon Musk is spending big to help the GOP win the midterms.

The world's richest man gave $5 million apiece in December to two super PACs tied to House and Senate GOP leadership, according to new disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission on Saturday.

That includes the Congressional Leadership Fund, which backs GOP House candidates, along with the Senate Leadership Fund.

While Musk's contributions have been previously reported, the disclosures put a precise dollar amount on Musk's new investments.

"He's been very helpful," Senate Majority Leader John Thune told the Washington Examiner in December, referring to Musk's contribution. "I welcome that obviously, and the more he wants to do, the more we welcome."
