Elon Musk, though not on the midterm ballot, faces political and business challenges after Democrats won big in the US House and Senate. 

His massive $445 million Republican spending, especially in Texas, failed as Democrats swept statewide offices. 

Investigations loom over his government role, contracts worth billions, and alleged conflicts of interest. Lawmakers are also scrutinizing his Russian ties and Starlink's Ukraine service.

Musk's companies saw stock dips post-election, with Texas critical to his business expansion plans.
