US outlets projected Democrats had won the Nov. 3 midterms, regaining control of
both the Senate and House. The Washington Post reported on Nov. 4 that Elon Musk
deleted a 'Vote red today!' post from his X account that he published on
election day. Musk reportedly spent $474m in this midterm cycle — a record for a
non-candidate donor — using X to support Republicans and public attack
Democratic candidates; the election result did not match his preference.
