A Super PAC backed by a $45 million investment from the California tech giant Meta launched an ad campaign in Texas this week to boost state Republicans viewed by the company as friendly to the development of artificial intelligence.

On Friday, the Forge the Future Super PAC launched its first round of digital ads that support Kelly Hancock, who is locked in heated GOP primary battle for Texas Comptroller, and two candidates for state Senate.

The Hancock ad doesn't make mention of AI or the data centers that support the technology, and instead focuses on the North Texas Republican's efforts to keep taxes low and improve education. The full ads backing state Rep. Trent Ashby, a Lufkin Republican running for an East Texas state Senate seat, and Brett Ligon, who is vying to replace Galveston state Sen. Mayes Middleton, were not immediately available.
