Elon Musk finally spoke out on his social platform following the midterm results that saw Democrats seize control of both the House and Senate while flipping important contests in Texas.

Sarcastic reaction on X

Just after the polls closed on Nov. 4, the billionaire shared lighthearted messages that poked fun at his attempts to shape the vote. He joked that his work in space had failed to change the outcome and wondered aloud about launching data centers into orbit while Democrats marked their wins.

Big money, disappointing outcome

Campaign finance records reveal Musk directed substantial resources toward Republican candidates and causes. He contributed around $445.6 million through mid-October, with total spending since January 2025 estimated near $474 million. Despite this support, Democrats claimed victory in the Senate and House and succeeded in Texas, where James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton and Gina Hinojosa overcame Greg Abbott.
