Several major U.S. media outlets projected that Democrats scored a sweeping victory in the U.S. midterm elections held on Nov. 3, regaining control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The development put fresh attention on Elon Musk, who had spent hundreds of millions of dollars backing Republican candidates during the election cycle. According to The Washington Post, Musk posted on X on Election Day urging voters to back Republicans with the message, "Vote red today!" By local time on Nov. 4, that post had disappeared from his account. Global Times said Musk’s political spending in this midterm cycle reached $474 million, setting a record for political expenditures by a non-candidate donor in a single election cycle. The report also said Musk used X to campaign for Republicans and repeatedly attacked Democratic candidates in public, while the final outcome did not go his way.
