Tuesday, November 4, 2026 {HMC} One person whom the American public has called ‘fool’, is Elon Musk, who arrogantly attempted to help the Republican Party maintain control of Congress.
He donated 474 million dollars to support Republican candidates, but none of them succeeded. Yet the Republican Party he supported added Musk to the reasons for their failure, citing the astonishing defeat the Republicans suffered in the state of Texas.
Elon Musk supported Ken Paxton with over 200 million dollars, who was running for the Texas state seat in the U.S. Senate, but this candidate was easily defeated by the Democratic candidate, James Talarico. This victory gave the Democratic Party a win in Texas after 32 years.
The anger of the Texas public stemming from Musk's arrogance did not stop there; it also turned the state, which had long been governed by Republicans, Democratic, and even the Democratic candidate won the governorship. This was one of the most significant victories the Democrats achieved in the election that took place yesterday.
Musk also faced embarrassment in the state of Ohio, where Democrats won. Not only that, his attempt to fight Ilhan Omar and his efforts to prevent Somalis and Muslims from participating in the elections did not materialize as he had hoped.
Thus, Musk became the fool of the election. The American public also said; money is consumption, and the vote is democratic.
