Τζέιμς Ταλαρίκο: «Κερδίσαμε τον Γολιάθ»

𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐊 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐏𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 $𝟏𝟓𝟖 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐗𝐓𝐎𝐍’𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄Federal filings tell the real story behind the most expensive Senate race in American history. 𝐄𝐥𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐤 wrote the Senate Leadership Fund two checks this fall—$75 million on September 9, then $83 million two weeks later—for a combined $𝟏𝟓𝟖 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 (Daily Signal, FEC filings).Those were the only two donations the Senate Leadership Fund received all month. One day after each check landed, the fund turned around and sent the identical amount to “Texas PAC,” the super PAC running ads for 𝐊𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐱𝐭𝐨𝐧. A New York Times reporter summed it up bluntly: “𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘴 𝘗𝘈𝘊 𝘪𝘴 100% 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘍𝘶𝘯𝘥. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘩.”There’s a reason Musk had to step in. Democrat 𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘰 outraised Paxton nearly 4-to-1 in the third quarter—$64 million to $18 million (campaign finance filings)—making Texas PAC’s $𝟏𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐬 in ad spending the only thing keeping the race competitive on the airwaves (AdImpact).It isn’t Musk’s only check. He also sent $20 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, $10 million to the Republican Governors Association, $2 million to Republican attorneys general, and $10 million straight to a PAC backing Paxton directly. Paxton himself hasn’t publicly acknowledged any of it.Say what you want about the man, but when the left outraises you four-to-one and you’re still standing on Election Day, somebody wrote a very big check.𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞.
