NEW @wired.com: Elon Musk's America PAC is focusing its war chest on key Senate races this cycle -- overall spending 3 times as much on digital ads and mailers hitting Dems as defending GOP candidates amid cratering support for Trump's record

wired.comElon Musk’s America PAC Is Quietly Funding November’s Most Consequential ElectionsAmerica PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

spend some time clicking through the tracker - you can check out latest payments, go race by race, see how much is being donated to republicans or against democrats, determine the biggest donations, and even browse state by state. there are SO many ways to look at exactly how this is all happening!

TRUMP was happy with the dinner where they discussed AI matters generally But people familiar with dynamics don’t expect this to carry over to the Pentagon, where Pete Hegseth and Emil Michael have been sharply critical of Amodei — i.e. “Dario’s still got a Hegseth problem”

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and his wife had dinner at the White House last night after TRUMP reached out with the offer, per people familiar Amodei had already confirmed his attendance at the White House AI execs meeting happening tomorrow before he dined with the president

NEW: Trump says Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent won’t be the next AI czar— “Number One, he doesn’t want to. Number Two, he’s doing such a great job at Treasury, and that’s where I want to keep him! Why would I ever make such a change?”
