## Summary

Elon Musk’s decision to move SpaceX and X from California to Texas, partly in protest at state policy on transgender pupils, is facing fresh scrutiny after Democrats made major gains in Texas midterm elections. The article argues that the political shift could leave Musk living and running businesses in a state with leaders less sympathetic to his views, while Democrats in Washington may investigate him.

Texas elected Democrat Gina Hinojosa as governor and James Talarico to the Senate, ending decades of Republican control in those contests, according to the article. Musk spent nearly $500 million backing Republican candidates, including $224 million in Texas, and a source says senior Democrats view him as a “class traitor”. The article also reports post-election falls of 5.5 per cent in SpaceX shares and 5.1 per cent in Tesla, while noting that some believe Musk could regain Democratic support through fundraising.
