SpaceX and Tesla have high election stakes as Elon Musk pours $366 million into campaigns

Elon Musk has committed roughly $366 million to the 2026 midterm election, with much of it aimed at preserving or expanding Republican power in Washington. SpaceX has at least $6.78 billion in federal work through Oct. 1, 2026 — nearly twice its total for all of 2024 — and several Musk-backed races could affect oversight, federal contracts, or regulations involving SpaceX, Tesla, and Musk's AI business. Texas is a key overlap, with Tesla, SpaceX, and the planned Terafab chip project.

Why: This is mostly US political and regulatory context, not a direct product, platform, or pricing change for Malaysian builders.
