The Spin
Republican narrative
Musk is showing he's a true patriot by putting so much of his resources toward countering the left's nefarious donor class and keeping Republicans in power to maintain America's greatness. He already proved what impact he can have in 2024. Democrats are facing a fiscal and approval crisis that will make them even easier to defeat.
Democratic narrative
Musk could be playing into the Democrats' hands, as his post-DOGE approval rating sits at around 32% and Republicans are going to need to make serious comebacks in some of the races in which he plans to invest. No amount of door-knocking overcomes a demoralized base angry about broken promises on prices and a growing war.
