Elon Musk says he has “done enough” to help MAGA Republicans win elections, signaling a shift in his kingmaker role as Donald Trump’s top campaign backer.

After months of watching his popularity plummet, the DOGE slasher-in-chief said he plans to cut back on funding political campaigns, a move that could dampen the Republicans’ efforts at next year’s midterm elections and in the lead up to the 2028 presidential election.

“I think, in terms of political spending, I’m going to do a lot less in the future,” Musk said, when asked at the Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday if he would continue spending as much as he has in the past.

      Open season at this point. If they got killed tomorrow, who the fuck would actually care? There would be so much in fighting and rats jumping ship, by the time things are over you’d probably end up in Congress

      Haven’t seen an iota of evidence to this effect. Let me know when the military stops subsidizing SpaceX and Starlink.
