Billionaire Elon Musk’s America PAC has started spending in two Republican House districts in Florida ahead of special elections next week. They are supporting Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis in the 1st District and state Sen. Randy Fine in the 6th District, with a focus on texting services. This is a sign of Musk’s increasing political engagement, as he serves as a key White House adviser. The special elections are taking place in heavily Republican areas, with President Trump winning both districts by large margins in the November election. Despite this, House Republican leaders are concerned about the 6th District race to replace former Rep. Mike Waltz, with Fine trailing his Democratic opponent in fundraising. Patronis is also facing a fundraising challenge from his Democratic opponent in the 1st District. The winner of the 1st District race will replace former Rep. Matt Gaetz. Trump has endorsed both Patronis and Fine and has shown support for them on Truth Social. The spending by America PAC, despite being minimal compared to other funds in the races, highlights Musk’s interest in the outcomes of these special elections.
