Tesla, SpaceX or the crypto industry: These companies are likely to be targeted by Democrats now

The Democrats' win in the US midterm elections is set to shift the balance of power in Washington, allowing them to launch congressional investigations into Donald Trump's associates and family. The party's leaders, including Senator Ron Wyden, have hinted at targeting Trump's businesses and those of his family members, such as Donald Trump Jr and Jared Kushner.

Elon Musk and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, may also face scrutiny, particularly over SpaceX's dealings in Ukraine and a potential merger between Tesla and SpaceX. The Democrats' investigations may also extend to other companies that have worked with the Trump administration, including tech firms like Meta, Amazon, and Google.
