Elon Musk launches midterm election plan aimed at rallying more local voters for Trump

BlockBeats News, January 23 — Elon Musk is reopening his wallet and activating his political operation mechanism in preparation for the 2026 midterm elections. The world’s richest man has already donated $10 million to a Republican Senate candidate this year, and his previously cold relationship with Trump has thawed.

Sources familiar with the plans say that in recent weeks, Musk’s political team has met with multiple potential service providers for the upcoming midterm elections, focusing on experts in digital and SMS marketing. These sources indicate that Musk’s chief political strategist, Chris Young, is leading these efforts and has been meeting with vendors, some political candidates, and their teams.

Insiders reveal that for the 2026 midterm elections, Musk’s goal is to convert Trump supporters — some of whom previously only voted for Trump in the presidential election — into voters who participate in midterm and local elections.

Analysts point out that the reconciliation between the two represents a budding pragmatic alliance: Trump will regain Musk’s financial and technological infrastructure support, while Musk maintains a channel of political influence within the government. Musk is leveraging his social media platform to amplify his vision of building a leaner U.S. government, centered on significantly reducing federal spending, relaxing regulations, and implementing citizen verification in voting.
