Republicans are facing growing concerns over Elon Musk’s political influence as they head into key elections.

With backlash mounting over Musk’s role in federal spending cuts and his unpopularity among independents, some GOP lawmakers are calling for the party to distance itself from him.

Meanwhile, Democrats are energized, seeing recent wins in Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Wisconsin as signs of momentum.

Special elections in Florida, including a tight race in a senior-heavy district, highlight fears that Musk’s policies could alienate voters reliant on government programs, Politico has reported.

As polling shows Musk’s favorability lagging, some Republicans worry his presence could hurt their chances in 2024.
