When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

UPDATE: The Marx campaign now says its online merch site is run by a third party which is keeping the proceeds, not the campaign. The campaign hasn't said who is profiting from the merch promoted by the campaign. We don't know if it's Marx himself, Marx's family, or someone else.
CO GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx got caught taking illegally large campaign contributions, so he told supporters to funnel unlimited money to him through a new online merch site. He wouldn't tell us who ran or it where the money is going... so we bought some merch to find out...
