SpaceX and Tesla shares fall amid Texas policy concerns

📉 SpaceX fell around 6% and Tesla lost roughly 5% in overnight trading after the US election, as results in Texas raised concerns about the policy outlook for Elon Musk’s companies.

🗳️ Gina Hinojosa defeated incumbent Governor Greg Abbott, returning Democrats to the Texas governorship for the first time since 1995.

🏗️ Hinojosa has called for a pause on new data center approvals until community protections become law, alongside ending industry subsidies. This adds uncertainty to AI infrastructure expansion in Texas.

⚙️ Texas is a key location for SpaceX and Tesla. The impact on each company will depend on the scope of policy changes and which projects are affected.

🔎 Attention now turns to how these proposals develop after the election. Overnight declines signal increased concern, but do not establish a lasting impact on earnings.
