Elon Musk's PAC Funded Ads Misrepresent Democratic Candidates' Positions on Gender-Affirming Care

Elon Musk's America PAC has been found to be running a series of attack ads against Democratic Senate candidates that contain factual inaccuracies, distorted quotes, and misleading context. According to a fact-check by Popular Information, the ads, which were aired in Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, and Alaska between September 5 and 21, 2026, cost approximately $1 million, with over half targeting Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. The ads falsely accused the candidates of supporting 'taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries on kids,' a claim that is not supported by their actual positions or voting records. In Texas, the ad against Talarico cited his 2023 vote against a state bill that banned gender-affirming care for minors, but Talarico had actually supported a narrower amendment focused solely on surgery, and Texas Medicaid already did not cover such procedures. When asked about a nationwide surgery ban, Talarico stated he would support it. The ad targeting Ohio's Sherrod Brown misrepresented a 2023 quote where Brown said, 'A child's health care decisions are between them, their parents, their families and their doctors,' which never mentioned funding. In Iowa, an ad against state Rep. Josh Turek pointed to his vote against a 2025 budget bill containing a Medicaid surgery ban that was redundant, as Iowa had already banned such surgeries for minors two years prior. Turek's spokesperson clarified he does not support the surgeries. The most edited ad targeted Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed, splicing a Fox News interview to make it appear he told parents to 'move on' from concerns about gender-affirming care, when in fact he was addressing the host directly and stated, 'I'm not advocating anything.' An ad against Alaska's Mary Peltola cited a 2024 vote on a military family support program that provided no medical procedures, making the funding claim impossible. Musk, who has described his transgender daughter as 'dead, killed by the woke mind virus,' authorized America PAC to spend $100 million to $120 million supporting Republicans in the 2026 election cycle, as reported by The New York Times. The fact-check highlights the use of misleading tactics in political advertising, emphasizing the importance of accurate representation in electoral campaigns.
