Elon Musk, owner of Tesla, SpaceX and X, was also the loser of the day. Musk, who supported the Republican Party in the elections and spent a total of 474 million dollars for party candidates through his political action committee America PAC, also became the largest known donor of the elections.

Musk even spent $225 million for Texas, where many of his companies are headquartered. So half of their donations and aid were only for Texas. However, the result was disappointing in this state, known as the stronghold of the Republicans.

As it is known, Ken Paxton lost the senatorial race in Texas to Democratic candidate James Talarico, while Greg Abbott lost to Democrat Gina Hinojosa in the governorship election.
