Original: Elon Musk bets big on Ken Paxton’s bid for U.S. Senate

Elon Musk is throwing his financial and political weight behind Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's campaign for U.S. Senate, according to Spectrum News reporting. The endorsement signals Musk's deepening involvement in Republican primaries, and the race against incumbent Senator John Cornyn is drawing national attention as a test of Trump-aligned and tech-billionaire influence within the party.

Why now: Musk's endorsement of a hard-right challenger to an incumbent Republican senator highlights his growing role in GOP politics.
