Musk's business empire braces as Texas flips blue

Original: Elon Musk's business empire braces for Democratic wave as Texas flips blue

Elon Musk's companies, which are heavily concentrated in Texas, face growing political risk after Democrats scored a wave of victories that flipped Texas blue in the November 2026 midterm elections. Musk has built Tesla, SpaceX and other operations in the state while aligning himself with Republicans, and a Democratic-led Texas could bring new regulatory and political pressure on his business interests.

Why now: The midterm results just came in, raising questions about how a Democratic Texas will affect Musk's companies based there.
