(FILES) CEO of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk reacts as US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after a meeting with technology executives about artificial intelligence at the White House in Washington, DC, on September 29, 2026. Democrats captured both the Senate and House of Representatives on November 3, 2026, in a stunning rejection of Trump's political agenda, winning races in which conservative groups had poured in far more outside money than their liberal counterparts. The rout of President Donald Trump and his Republicans in the US midterm elections was also a defeat for Elon Musk and for the massive campaign spending meant to sway voters.
