- Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX Stocks Fall After Democrats Sweep Elections, Senator Warns of ‘Subpoenas’
Shares of Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX fell after Democrats swept the 2026 midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3. According to The New York Times, when markets opened on Wednesday, November 4, Tesla dropped more than 5% and SpaceX more than 7%, before recovering some of those losses.
- AMD's AI Data Center Guarantees Reach $8.5 Billion as It Challenges Nvidia
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) is taking on billions of dollars in potential financial obligations to help customers build AI data centers as it intensifies its challenge to Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA). Its lease guarantees jumped 88% in a short period.
- Dan Ives: After the Blue Wave, “10% of Datacenters Will Not Happen.” CoreWeave and Nebius Sink
CoreWeave (CRWV) fell 7% and Nebius (NBIS) 5% after Wedbush’s Dan Ives estimated that 10% of planned US data centers will not be built now that Democrats control Congress. These neoclouds need new sites to grow and service their debt, so a slower buildout would hit them before the hyperscalers. Aleph’s Michael Eisenberg noted that all but one of the roughly 41 local data center measures with results so far went against them, usually by 70 to 80%, while Liz Ann Sonders of Schwab cited data showing third-quarter project cancellations nearly exceeded 2024 and 2025 combined. CoreWeave guided to $860 million to $940 million of third-quarter interest expense against $200 million to $260 million of adjusted operating income. GPU rental prices are rising, but committed contracts made up 98% of CoreWeave’s 2025 revenue, so higher rents mainly apply to new capacity.
- Morgan Stanley Calls Tesla the “Very Obvious Player” as Data Centers Outbuy the Grid on Batteries
Morgan Stanley expects data centers to add more battery storage than the grid in 2030, and analyst Andrew Percoco called Tesla a “very obvious player” in that market. Tesla’s energy business generated $12.8 billion of revenue in 2025, up 27%, with a 29.8% gross margin versus 16.2% for its car business. Tesla’s undelivered energy contracts totaled $10.73 billion as of September 30, while its company-wide gross margin fell from 25.6% in 2022 to 18.0% in 2025. Ford launched Ford Energy in May, planning about $2 billion of spending and at least 20 GWh of deployments a year. At 189x forward earnings, Tesla’s valuation still depends on Robotaxi and Optimus profits that estimates don’t yet show.
- Blue Wave Puts Tesla’s SpaceX Merger Premium at Risk as Democrats Eye Musk’s Companies
Tesla and SpaceX (SPCX) each fell 4% in early trading after Democrats won control of the House and Senate. Congress has no vote on the Tesla–SpaceX merger, but hearings and subpoenas could slow a deal that needs nearly 1.98 billion yes votes out of 3.953 billion Tesla shares outstanding. Musk gave $446 million during the 2026 midterm cycle, and Democrats have threatened to investigate his DOGE tenure and federal contracts. Gary Black put a fair premium at 20–25%, but warned that arbitrage traders could push down SPCX’s price and the deal premium after an announcement. At 189x forward earnings, Tesla trades well above its three-year average of 137x.
- Watch out for Big Tech companies like Meta and Alphabet issuing more shares and diluting your stock ownership
