埃隆·马斯克正向美国中期选举投入数亿美元，为共和党在11月的投票前提供巨大的资金助力。这位世界首富在本选举周期已捐赠超过4.45亿美元，数百万美元流向关键参议院竞选及助力共和党获胜的行动。
Elon Musk is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the US midterm elections, giving Republicans a major financial boost ahead of November’s vote. The world’s richest person has donated more than $445 million this election cycle, with millions going towards key Senate races and efforts to help Republicans win.
马斯克捐赠了多少据彭博社报道，根据联邦选举委员会（FEC）的文件，马斯克在10月前两周向“美国政治行动委员会”（America PAC）注资7700万美元。这笔资金旨在助力共和党在11月的中期选举中获胜。这些选举预计将成为史上最昂贵的选举。
How much Musk has givenAccording to Bloomberg, Musk put $77 million into America PAC in the first two weeks of October, as per Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. The money is meant to help elect Republicans in the November midterm elections. These are projected to be the most expensive elections ever.
马斯克于7月重启其政治行动委员会。自那时起，他已捐赠3.55亿美元。这相当于日均360万美元。
Musk restarted his PAC in July. Since then, he has given $355 million. That is an average of $3.6 million a day.
马斯克是世界首富。据彭博亿万富翁指数，其净资产约为9060亿美元。他的捐赠使他远超其他大额捐赠者，包括乔治·索罗斯、杰弗里·亚斯和理查德·尤莱因。

共和党占据资金优势据彭博社报道，周四晚间提交的文件提供了选举日前最后的筹款概览。文件显示，马斯克的捐赠帮助扩大了共和党对民主党的巨大资金领先优势。本选举季，共和党筹集的资金远多于民主党。

They show that Musk’s donations helped widen the big money gap that Republicans have had over Democrats. Republicans have raised much more money than Democrats this election season.
截至10月14日，共和党、其国会超级政治行动委员会以及唐纳德·特朗普总统的“让美国再次伟大公司”（MAGA Inc.）已筹集21亿美元。民主党对应的委员会筹集了14亿美元。
The Republican Party, its congressional super PACs and President Donald Trump’s MAGA Inc. have raised $2.1 billion through October 14. Democrats’ matching committees have raised $1.4 billion.
这一资金优势对共和党是利好消息。特朗普的支持率今年跌至新低，选民因燃油价格上涨及其他生活成本担忧而指责他。
This money lead is good news for Republicans. Trump’s approval rating has fallen to new lows this year, and voters blame him for rising fuel prices and other worries about the cost of living.
资金流向何处没有人向共和党的“战争宝库”捐赠比马斯克更多。

据彭博社报道，马斯克于9月向参议院领导基金捐赠了1.58亿美元，该基金是支持共和党参议院候选人的主要超级政治行动委员会。该基金将这笔钱转给了德克萨斯州政治行动委员会，这是一个专注于德克萨斯州参议院竞选的团体。自9月11日以来，德克萨斯州政治行动委员会在该竞选中已花费1.81亿美元。
As per Bloomberg, Musk gave $158 million in September to the Senate Leadership Fund, the main super PAC backing Republican Senate candidates. It sent that money to Texas PAC, a group focused on the Texas Senate race. Texas PAC has spent $181 million on the race since September 11.
这笔资金对帕克斯顿而言是一条生命线，此前他在与参议员约翰·科宁的激烈初选后，筹款陷入困境。
