Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Elon Musk has donated $10 million to a candidate in the Senate race in Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell, who is retiring at the end of his current term.
The SpaceX and Tesla owner made the donation to the Fight For Kentucky super PAC to push the pro-Trump candidate Nate Morris for the U.S. Senate, Axios reported on Monday.
Morris is one of three leading candidates -- which U.S. Rep. Andy Barr and former Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron -- competing in the Republican primary for the nomination, according to the New York Times.
Musk contributed roughly $250 million to President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and ran the administration's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, effort to reduce the size of the federal government.
