Original: Elon Musk becomes biggest donor of US midterms cycle with $366m spent
Elon Musk has spent $366 million, making him the largest individual donor of the US midterm election cycle, according to the Guardian. The sum puts the Tesla and SpaceX chief executive ahead of traditional political financiers, and the scale of a single individual's spending on congressional races is drawing scrutiny of campaign finance and Musk's growing political influence.
Why now: A tech billionaire's record-breaking political spending on the midterm cycle has major implications for US elections.
