Elon Musk Spent Big on the Midterms. His Texas Neighbors Voted Differently

What the coverage shows

Most outlets frame the story around Musk’s record-setting midterms spending and the fact that it did not produce Republican wins. BBC News, The Guardian US, Reuters and CNN all emphasize the size of the spending and the poor return, while Wired broadens the angle to Big Tech and a wider “blue wave.” Newsweek is the only outlet here to focus on Musk’s Texas neighbors, and CNBC is the only one to tie the midterms to Tesla and SpaceX market value.
