Tesla og Space X faller markant i førhandelen
Elon Musk-selskapene er ned etter det republikanske nederlaget i mellomvalget.
The recent U.S. midterm elections resulted in a significant setback for the Republican Party, which now holds control over both the Congress and the Senate. On the financial markets, particularly Wall Street, a downward trend has been observed in major indices, affecting various companies associated with President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla.
The billionaire Musk has made substantial donations to the Republican Party, which has benefited the company in a significant manner. Over the past two decades, Musk's companies have received billions of dollars through government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax breaks, with a minimum total of $38 billion. During the campaign, one of the controversial issues was the establishment of data centers.
Musk has advocated for having data centers in satellites via SpaceX. On Wednesday, he expressed his opinion on Twitter, stating that data centers in outer space appear "quite enticing" now. Analysts at Wall Street have suggested that AI stocks may be influenced by the Democratic Party's victory, possibly due to stricter regulations on data centers.
The large tech companies in the U.S., who have invested massive amounts in the development of artificial intelligence, are reacting differently in the pre-election period, without any major losses yet.
