Elon Musk has spent over $500M on anti-EV political campaigns, harming Tesla's own business
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has now spent more than half a billion dollars on anti-EV political campaigns, including $276 million in just the last three months, making him the largest political spender of the 2026 midterms. These campaigns have damaged Tesla's reputation and bottom line, yet Musk has only accelerated his anti-EV influence despite the company asking him to stop.
