Musk Backs Republicans for 2026 Midterms Despite Past Trump Spat

• Musk previously called the GOP "corrupt" and "bankrupting" the US, and had a public spat with Donald Trump.
• He now states "America is toast if the radical left wins," citing concerns over illegal immigration and fraud.
• This follows reports of Musk cutting "big checks" for congressional Republicans after a reconciliation dinner with JD Vance.
• His new stance contrasts with his July 2023 plan to form an "America Party" to challenge bipartisan borrowing.
