Johnson Plans Texas Meeting With Elon Musk Amid GOP Fundraising Push

U.S. House Speaker Johnson plans to meet with Republican megadonor Elon Musk on Friday in Texas, according to four people familiar with the matter. According to ChainCatcher, the meeting comes as Johnson campaigns across Texas for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections. The report said the meeting is the latest sign that Republican leaders want Musk to contribute heavily to help the party keep control of Congress. Two of the people familiar with the matter said some Republicans believe Musk may be considering directing part of the money to key House GOP battleground districts. The sources said Musk's schedule remains fluid, and the meeting could still change at the last minute. Musk is reportedly considering spending at least $100 million through his super PAC, America PAC, on this year's midterm elections, though it is still unclear where the funds would ultimately go.
