What the coverage says

Following heavy financial backing for Republican candidates by Elon Musk, election outcomes in Texas and nationally fell short of expectations amid a Democratic surge. Economic Times and NDTV report that the resulting midterm outcomes and Democratic wins triggered a $120 billion loss in combined market value for Tesla and SpaceX, with Economic Times noting that investors now fear increased regulatory scrutiny from a Democrat-controlled Congress. Times of India reports that Musk contributed an astounding $474 million to Republican campaigns, while Larry Ellison also supported Trump's 2024 campaign with $45 million. Additionally, Times of India details that Google founder Larry Page once expressed a willingness to leave his fortune to Musk during past discussions.
