Elon Musk Spent Big on the Midterms. His Texas Neighbors Voted Differently
Cameron County, home to SpaceX's launch site, overwhelmingly backed Democrats despite Elon Musk's spending on Texas Republicans.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around Elon Musk’s midterms spending and the contrast with voting in Texas. Newsweek focuses on Cameron County near SpaceX’s launch site and says it backed Democrats despite Musk’s support for Texas Republicans, while Wired broadens the frame to “Big Tech” and a “historic blue wave” that it says rebuked the Trump administration, Big Tech, and data centers.
