Elon Musk reportedly funneled hundreds of thousands to a Texas PAC to unseat prosecutor José Garza, using aggressive tactics but ultimately failing.
The PAC, called Save Austin Now, deployed significant resources including texts and TV ads that cost over $650,000, portraying Garza negatively with violent imagery.
Despite Musk's financial backing, Garza outperformed expectations in fundraising and has strong prospects for re-election, emphasizing the challenges of wealthy donors in local politics.
Musk's political interventions are not new; he has previously used PACs, including plans to donate millions to support Trump, showcasing his ongoing political engagement.
