Elon Musk Deletes Election Day Post After Republican Losses

newrepublic.com —

Elon Musk deleted his Election Day post endorsing Republicans after the party suffered major losses in Tuesday's midterms, according to reports and his AI chatbot Grok. Musk spent $474 million on Republican campaigns and had posted "Vote red today!" on X before removing it. Results showed significant GOP defeats, including Texas races he heavily funded, where his businesses SpaceX and Tesla are based. Democrats now control Texas, with Governor Gina Hinojosa and Attorney General Nathan Johnson planning policies that could hurt Musk's ventures, including investigating Starlink grants and enacting a data center moratorium.
