Elon Musk says he has ā€œdone enoughā€ 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.

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