Elon Musk has emerged as the primary financier behind the Save Austin Now PAC, which spent over $650,000 on a campaign aimed at unseating Travis County District Attorney José Garza during the recent Democratic primary. The PAC's aggressive advertising included inflammatory fliers accusing Garza of 'filling Austin's streets with pedophiles & killers,' featuring graphic imagery designed to instill fear. Musk's financial backing is speculated to be influenced by his personal animosity towards philanthropist George Soros, a supporter of Garza and criminal justice reform. Despite the PAC's efforts, Garza won the primary with two-thirds of the vote and is expected to secure re-election in the upcoming November election. Both Garza and his opponent were reportedly unaware of Musk's involvement in the anti-Garza campaign and had condemned the negative ads. Musk's engagement in local Texas politics, particularly through PACs, marks a notable deviation from his usual focus, raising questions about his motivations and future political activities.
