A loss in a high-stakes Wisconsin judicial contest has left some Republicans questioning the heavy involvement of billionaire Elon Musk, whom Democrats view as the perfect villain to galvanize their voters in races to come.
But Musk and his political action committee plan to remain deeply involved in boosting GOP candidates, according to two people familiar with the plans who, like some others interviewed for this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal discussions. Musk wrote on social media Wednesday that he had “expected to lose” in Wisconsin.
“This is not deterring him at all. He’s still wanting to be heavily engaged in politics going forward,” one of the people said.
“They are full steam ahead,” looking at the midterms and other races, the second person said.
