Musk Deletes Pro-Republican Post, Says He Regrets Midterm Election Outcome
Current overview (not historical)
Elon Musk deleted a social media post urging supporters to "vote red today" and said he regretted the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections. The Washington Post reported that the post was no longer visible on Nov. 4 and appeared to have been removed. Musk had contributed more than $400 million to the midterms through a political action committee, making him the largest individual donor. Democrats had promised to investigate him if they regained control of Congress, and Musk suggested such investigations could slow SpaceX's development.
