Musk's PAC lawyer seeks Congress seat in Texas
Chris Gober, former director and top lawyer for Elon Musk's America PAC, is the Republican nominee for Texas's 10th Congressional District, an open seat considered a safe GOP win. The district is home to Terafab, an AI chip factory being built by Tesla and SpaceX, and also has offices for The Boring Co. in Pflugerville. Democrat Caitlin Rourk, an Army veteran and former Dell Technologies employee, is using that connection in a new ad.…
- SpaceX's PAC donated $10,000 to Gober's campaign, according to FEC filings.
- Terafab, Tesla and SpaceX's AI chip factory, is in Texas's 10th District.
🔎 Why it matters: Gober was Musk's America PAC top lawyer and now runs for Texas's 10th District, where Terafab is being built. Rourk's campaign is already using that connection in its advertising.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: Gober's website deleted the "Ensuring America's AI Dominance" section and omits Musk, which feeds Rourk's criticism in her ad.
