Still, Musk's donations are a huge chunk of money that Republicans will miss as they try to hold their congressional advantage in the midterm elections in November 2026.
Sir Keir did not confirm during Prime Minister's Questions who would be eligible for the revised policy, having previously admitted in a recent BBC interview that clarity was needed as soon as possible."We will look, again, as I said two weeks ago, at the eligibility for winter fuel, and of course, we'll set out how we pay for it," when quizzed by Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch on how many of the 10 million pensioners who lost the allowance would get it back.
The questions came after Reeves said earlier that people "should be in no doubt that the means test will increase and more people will get winter fuel payment this winter".Badenoch said the Chancellor was "rushing her plans because she just realised when winter is".If the government waits until the Budget to announce the changes, it would be just before payments are typically made.
Eligible pensioners receive payments automatically in November or December.

In response to growing questions over the changes, Downing Street said it would provide "clarity" on how it would expand payments "as soon as we can".
Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said: "We are encouraged by the chancellor's words, but will wait to see the detail, which needs to be published very soon if changes are to be made in time for this winter, something that is absolutely crucial if we're to protect the pensioners at greatest risk."Townshend told BBC South East that he thought the story of rebellion and youth culture would make a "powerfully rhythmic and emotionally engaging ballet".
"The themes of young people growing up in difficult times are still so relevant," he said."It's going to be tender, poignant, poetic and epic."
