Elon Musk has donated $10 million to a super PAC supporting Republican Nate Morris in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race. The contribution is one of the largest ever made in a Kentucky federal election and may reshape the dynamics of the primary. Outside spending has been a central feature of national politics for years, and Kentucky is no exception. While such donations are legal they raise questions about influence and accountability. However, we’ve learned from the last governor’s race that it takes more than money to win. Solid candidates, strong messages, and trust with the voters is more important than money. This is the lesson that billionaire Kelly Craft learned. Her $10 million only garnered a third place finish.
