Texas Senate race: New Talarico ad rips Elon Musk 'dark money' push
James Talarico hit back at Elon Musk's attacks and spending in a new ad by the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.
What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on James Talarico as the Texas Senate candidate and on Elon Musk’s money or influence as a key part of the race. CNBC is the only outlet centered on a new Talarico ad attacking Musk’s “dark money” push, while Reuters frames the contest around Talarico voting and the scale of Republican fundraising. NBC News is separate from the ad coverage, focusing instead on alleged Russian-backed fake videos targeting Talarico, and Reason is the outlier, using the race as a setting for a broader discussion of a Libertarian candidate.
