Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Elon Musk spent roughly $500 million backing Republican candidates in the U.S. midterm elections, including at least $446 million on unsuccessful Republican campaigns, yet Democrats won nationwide. The spending surpassed Musk’s own 2024 election outlay and set a new record for the world’s richest business figure. The results largely undercut the return on his massive electoral investment. What to watch next is whether Musk scales back or redirects his political spending after the disappointing outcome.
