Elon Musk directed at least $225 million of his midterm spending to Texas, according to OpenSecrets data NPR reported. Texas is home to the headquarters of Tesla and SpaceX, and on Tuesday its voters handed Democrats the governor's office, a U.S. Senate seat, and the state House anyway. Democrat Gina Hinojosa unseated three-term Gov. Greg Abbott, becoming the state's first Latina governor and ending a Republican hold on the office that began in 1995. James Talarico defeated Republican Ken Paxton, the first Democratic U.S. Senate win in Texas since 1988. Democrats also won control of the Texas House for the first time since Republicans took it in 2002.
