“Nate Morris spending more money will cement it that way.”
The source added that Morris intends to continue loaning money to his campaign through the May 19 Republican primary.
This past May, Musk told attendees at the Qatar Economic Forum shortly before his government service ended and close relationship with Trump imploded: “In terms of political spending, I’m going to do a lot less in the future.”
That relationship has since been repaired, and Musk hasn’t shied away from advocating for the GOP in the midterms this year.
“America is toast if the radical left wins,” the billionaire wrote on his social media platform X, responding to a tweet that claimed Musk was “reportedly going all-in funding Republicans to help President Trump take back full control in the November midterms.”
Last May, Musk — one month before his government service ended and close relationship with Trump imploded — had said he was going to spend less in the 2026 midterm elections.

“They will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud,” Musk added. “Won’t be America anymore.”
So far this cycle, the former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader has contributed $45 million to his own America PAC, which backed Trump’s candidacy and Republicans with more than $200 million in donations in 2024.
Musk has also donated $10 million this cycle to PACs supporting the GOP’s majorities in the House and Senate, as well as $5 million to Make America Great Again Inc., one of the top Trump-supporting PACs.
Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) has earned endorsements in the Senate race from Trump allies like Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and former White House physician and Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas).

The only poll of the Senate Kentucky race so far was conducted by Democrat-affiliated group Public Policy Polling, and showed Democratic former state legislator Charles Booker out in front of his own primary, but losing to all three Republicans in the general election.
“Nate Morris and his never-Trump allies have already spent $6 million on TV, and he’s stuck in a distant third and statistically tied with a DEMOCRAT in a Kentucky general election poll,” Gober went on.
