North Dakota voters rejected Initiative Measure 5 legalizing recreational cannabis on Tuesday, with those opposed garnering 53.% of the vote, <a href="https://apnews.com/projects/election-results-2024/north-dakota/?r=83047">according</a> to AP.
The third time was not the charm for voters in North Dakota to legalize marijuana. Two years ago, a similar measure was also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/11/29627576/north-dakota-loses-bid-to-legalize-adult-use-cannabis">rejected at the ballot box</a>, and another attempt in 2018 also failed. Even though Measure 5 offered a more structured approach to regulation and licensing, it was not enough to gather support. Even a summer poll indicated a tight battle, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39602457/majority-of-north-dakotans-are-against-legal-weed-new-poll-finds">most voters not wanting legal weed</a>.
"While we are disappointed that Measure 5 did not pass, Curaleaf remains committed to advocating for responsible cannabis access and education across the country," Curaleaf&#8217;s (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTCQX">CURLF</a>) chairman and CEO Boris Jordan told Benzinga. "Although this outcome continues to delay the opportunity for legal cannabis in North Dakota, we respect the democratic process and the will of the voters. Curaleaf believes in the potential of cannabis to improve lives and drive economic growth through job creation and tax revenue. As more states across the country embrace reform, we are confident that North Dakota will continue the conversation about cannabis legalization in the future.&#8221;
The New Economic Frontier formally launched the campaign in April after filing the initiative with the state. The organization highlighted the financial benefits North Dakota could gain by following neighboring states that have already legalized cannabis.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Measure 5</h2>
Under this measure, adults 21 and older would be allowed to use cannabis at home without punishment. The proposal would have allowed possession of one ounce of cannabis, 4 grams of concentrate and 1,500 milligrams of adult-use cannabinoid products. 
"Due to the failure to pass Measure 5, individuals in the state can still face criminal penalties for possession—from a criminal infraction of up to a $1,000 fine to a Class A misdemeanor," Paula Savchenko Esq., founding partner of Cannacore Group and PS Law Group told Benzinga. "Although criminal charges for cannabis-related offenses have declined since the state implemented its medical cannabis program, over 1,800 arrests were related to cannabis in 2023."
According to her, with medical cannabis sales at $21.6 million for the state in 2023, adult-use sales could reach $70 million within its first year of operations and acquire up to $115 million by its fourth year. She stressed that "the state has forgone the potential tax revenue from the program, which could have supported public services such as health, infrastructure and education.&#8221;
Savchenko pointed out that it is unlikely any other legalization effort will make it through the legislature, which means that voters will not be able to legalize adult-use cannabis until the next general election in 2026.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Reactions</h2>
Leafwell CEO Emily Fisher told Benzinga, &#8220;Leafwell is disappointed that North Dakota did not support Measure 5, which would have expanded responsible access to cannabis for adults. We remain committed to educating and guiding North Dakotans on safe cannabis care and will continue to work toward increased access and regulation in the state.&#8221;
Gurpreet (Pete) Sahani CEO of The Blinc Group, commented, "Although this vote did not result in the legalization of recreational cannabis, the push for reform is far from over. Cannabis has already become a part of the national conversation, and North Dakota's progress toward legalization will continue. Advocates will keep pushing for a legal framework that promotes responsible use, economic growth, and social justice, ensuring this effort returns stronger in the next election cycle.
Louis Samuel, CEO of Golden State Canna, said "For the third time the voters of North Dakota have decided that the nickname they hold on their license plates, ‘The Peace Garden State' excludes the plant more associated with Peace than any other. Measure 5 provided an opportunity to overcome past failures of initiative and increase liberty in the state, but instead the voters of North Dakota have chosen to place tradition over progress and keep a shadow over their garden."

Nebraska voters chose to legalize and regulate medical cannabis on Tuesday via two ballot measures. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happened </h3>
The AP <a href="https://apnews.com/projects/election-results-2024/nebraska/?r=83199">reported</a> Tuesday night that with nearly 60% of the votes counted, over 72.4% of Nebraska voters said yes to Initiative 437, thus enacting the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Protection Act. And 68.5% of voters approved Initiative 438, which enacts the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Regulation Act that will create a government board to regulate medical cannabis for patients.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39598184/is-third-time-the-charm-nebraska-medical-marijuana-campaign-needs-12-000-more-signatures-by-july">After two unsuccessful attempts</a> &#8211; in 2020 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/07/28000535/nebraska-medical-cannabis-activists-submit-ballot-signatures-despite-legal-setback-financial-str">again in 2022</a> &#8211; to legalize medical marijuana, Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana, the cannabis legalization advocate group led by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39598184/is-third-time-the-charm-nebraska-medical-marijuana-campaign-needs-12-000-more-signatures-by-july">campaign manager</a> Crista Eggers, has made it. Activists submitted the required number of signatures earlier this year, totaling close to 115,000, surpassing the 86,500 needed. Secretary of State Bob Evnen certified both measures.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Matters</h3>
Nebraska Medical Cannabis Protection Act allows qualified patients to use and possess up to five ounces of cannabis to treat and help alleviate their health conditions.
Under the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Regulation Act, Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission is charged with establishing and adopting regulations for the new market.
Paula Savchenko, Esq.,&nbsp;founding&nbsp;partner of&nbsp;Cannacore Group&nbsp;and&nbsp;PS Law Group, shed light on the timeline of setting up a new market and a regulatory frame around it.
&#8220;Following the adoption of the Commission's regulations, the Commission must grant medical cannabis business licenses by October 1, 2025,&#8221; Savchenko told Benzinga. &#8220;Based on the proposed timeline set forth in the Act, the market may open as early as Summer 2026, depending on various factors such as construction of facilities, Commission inspections, licensing roll-out and potential litigation.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Industry Praises Ballot Results</h3>
David Craig, chief marketing officer of Illicit Garden, which operates in neighboring Missouri where the use of both medical and recreational cannabis is legal, praised the ballot results.
&#8220;We applaud the citizens of Nebraska for embracing this significant change,&#8221; Craig said. &#8220;Legalizing medical cannabis opens the door to numerous opportunities—from boosting the state&#8217;s economy to rectifying long-standing social injustices related to cannabis prohibition. The cannabis industry is eager to collaborate with state officials, businesses, and community organizations to ensure the responsible and effective implementation of the new law.&#8221;

</ul>
Gurpreet (Pete) Sahani CEO of The Blinc Group, a company headquartered in New York City that designs, develops, supplies and supports premium cannabis vaping hardware, said legalization of medical cannabis is a &#8220;monumental step&#8221; for Nebraska.
&#8220;It will not only generate significant tax revenue for essential services like education and infrastructure but also relieve the criminal justice system of low-level cannabis offenses,&#8221; Sahani said. &#8220;With this new framework, Nebraska can establish a well-regulated market that prioritizes safety and accountability while offering a pathway to expungement for past cannabis-related offenses, rectifying past injustices."
John Mueller, CEO of Greenlight, a company that invested in the initiative, said "Today's decision by Nebraska voters marks the end of unnecessary delays and the beginning of a modern medical cannabis program rooted in proven healthcare practices."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Legal Disputes</h3>
However, Savchenko said the ongoing legal hurdles around the validity of the Initiatives&#8217; signatures could endanger legalization efforts.
Last week, Lancaster County District Judge Susan Strong allowed the votes cast for or against Nebraska's two medical cannabis ballot measures to be counted and made public.
The decision is an answer to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40859403/former-gop-senator-wants-to-stop-cannabis-ballot-in-nebraska-lawsuit-targets-secretary-of-state-">lawsuit</a> filed by John Kuehn, who served in the Legislature from 2015 to 2019 and has been a leader in the anti-legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM), in September. He attempted to block medical marijuana measures from reaching the ballot.
&#8220;Closing arguments concluded last week, and Judge Susan Strong of the Lancaster County District Court has given both parties until November 12, 2024, to submit additional briefs,&#8221; Savchenko said. &#8220;A ruling may take several weeks, with medical cannabis advocates prepared to demonstrate sufficient signatures if the Judge rules in favor of the plaintiffs.&#8221;

Nebraska Says Yes To Medical Cannabis After Years Of Failed Legalization Attempts: Here's What You Need To Know

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has been fined $15 million by South Korea for unlawfully gathering sensitive personal information from Facebook users.
What Happened: The South Korean Personal Information Protection Commission found Mark Zuckerberg led Meta guilty of illegally collecting sensitive personal information from Facebook users, including details about their political views and sexual orientation. This information was then shared with thousands of advertisers, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/meta-facebook-south-korea-fine-privacy-9a1e9500d0462112c422e0612f1f7085">reported</a> the Associated Press.
The commission&#8217;s four-year investigation revealed that Meta had collected sensitive information about nearly 980,000 Facebook users from July 2018 to March 2022. This included their religion, political views, and whether they were in same-sex unions. The company then shared this data with around 4,000 advertisers.
According to South Korea&#8217;s privacy law, companies are prohibited from processing or using such data without the specific consent of the individuals involved. The commission also found that Meta failed to implement basic security measures, leading to data breaches affecting at least 10 South Korean Facebook users.
This is not the first time that Meta has faced penalties in South Korea. In 2022, the company was fined a combined 100 billion won ($72 million) for tracking consumers&#8217; online behavior without their consent and using their data for targeted advertisements.

Why It Matters: This fine is the latest in a series of penalties against Meta by South Korean authorities, reflecting a growing global trend of increased scrutiny over big tech companies&#8217; handling of private information. In September, European regulators also fined Meta over $100 million for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39899685/meta-says-facebook-is-free-eu-threatens-to-fine-mark-zuckerberg-led-social-media-giant">security lapse in 2019</a>.
Despite these legal challenges, Meta has been making significant moves in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/41735903/meta-amazon-microsoft-partner-on-defense-ai-initiative">tech and defense sectors</a>. Earlier this week, the company announced a partnership with Amazon and Microsoft to provide its Llama artificial intelligence models for national security and defense applications. 
Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41658862/meta-is-an-ai-story-fueled-by-llama-and-meta-ai-says-bullish-analyst">analysts have been bullish</a> on Meta&#8217;s AI capabilities, with Bank of America labeling it an &#8220;AI Story&#8221; and pointing to the rapid and growing adoption of Llama and Meta AI. The firm also raised ad revenue estimates on product traction and anticipates Meta&#8217;s AI-driven ad improvements to play out in 2025.
Price Action: Meta stock closed at $572.43 on Tuesday, rising by 2.10%, for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock decreased 0.42%. Year to date, the stock has gained 65.30%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Benzinga Election Update: AP Projects Trump With 230 Electoral Votes, Harris With 187 Electoral Votes, AP Projects Trump To Win North Carolina; Florida Rejects Cannabis Legalization Amendment

In a landmark decision, some 65% of Dallas voters approved the &#8220;Dallas Freedom Act&#8221; on Tuesday to decriminalize small amount of cannabis, setting the stage for major cannabis reform in one of Texas&#8217;s largest cities.
Election data from the Dallas County elections office indicate that roughly 149,500 people voted in favor of decriminalization, while approximately 81,200 voted against it, <a href="https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/05/dallas-county-2024-election-results-texas-marijuana-decriminalization-laws/76082707007/">according</a> to the Austin American Statesman.
Natalie Marquez, local field director with Dallas Freedom Act, said the early votes show that the Dallas community has decided it's time for a change.
"This decisive victory is very loud and clear when it comes to the state government's outdated approach to marijuana regulation, which has unnecessarily criminalized countless of Texas," Marquez said, as <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2024/11/05/dallas-voters-weed-proposition-marijuana-ballot/">reported</a> the Dallas Morning News.
With this vote, Dallas joins a growing list of cities across the state pushing for progressive marijuana policies, effectively decriminalizing possession of up to 4 ounces of cannabis.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What The New Law Means For Dallas</h3>
Under the newly approved amendment, the Dallas Police Department will cease issuing citations or making arrests for Class A or Class B misdemeanor marijuana possession offenses. 
The amendment further prohibits city funds from being used to test cannabis-related substances to determine legality under state and federal laws. Additionally, the Dallas Police are now restricted from using the smell of marijuana as probable cause for search and seizure, except under limited investigative circumstances. Violations of this policy could lead to penalties for officers, signaling a strong stance on civil liberties.
This decision comes after a successful petition drive led by Ground Game Texas, which gathered enough signatures to place the amendment on the ballot. The movement to reform cannabis laws in Dallas reflects broader statewide efforts, although resistance remains from figures like Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has been prosecuting other Texas cities for similar reforms.
<a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-texas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ground Game Texas</a>, the statewide advocacy group that has led or supported at least 10 city-based marijuana campaigns across the stat celebrated the news on X.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expanding Reforms Across Texas</h3>
In addition to Dallas, voters in Lockhart and Bastrop also weighed in on local cannabis decriminalization measures Tuesday. Results had not been made public at the time of this writing. 
As Dallas embraces this policy change, proponents see it as a step toward reshaping Texas's stance on cannabis. Supporters hope this will encourage other major cities to follow suit, despite legal pushback from state authorities.

AP Projects Trump Wins North Carolina

AI startup&nbsp;Perplexity, backed by Amazon.com, Inc. founder&nbsp;Jeff Bezos, is set to triple its valuation in its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41420230/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-aims-for-8b-valuation-in-new-funding-round-ai-fueled-google-challen">fourth funding round</a>&nbsp;this year.
What Happened: Perplexity is finalizing a funding round that would see its valuation skyrocket to $9 billion, an increase from its valuation of&nbsp;$520 million at the start&nbsp;of the year.
The AI-powered search company plans to raise $500 million,&nbsp;with Institutional Venture Partners leading the round, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-startup-perplexity-to-triple-valuation-to-9-billion-in-new-funding-round-f2fb8c2c?mod=hp_lead_pos5">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.
The funding comes amid increased competition from ChatGPT-parent OpenAI and Alphbaet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, both of which have introduced AI-powered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41087674/openais-searchgpt-set-to-disrupt-googles-search-empire-as-former-engineer-sounds-alarm-on-deteriorat">features in their search engines</a>.
Last month, OpenAI secured more than $6.5 billion in new funding&nbsp;at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">valuation of $157&nbsp;billion</a>.

Why It Matters: In April 2024, Perplexity became a unicorn after a funding round that more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38398735/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexity-ai-is-now-a-unicorn-after-latest-fundraise-softbanks-masayoshi-son-nvid">doubled its valuation to over $1 billion</a>. By August, the startup&#8217;s revenue and usage had grown <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entrepreneurship/24/08/40292703/perplexity-ais-revenue-usage-skyrocket-as-it-enters-into-advertising">700% since the start of the year</a>.

Jeff Bezos-Backed AI Startup Perplexity Set To Triple Valuation To $9B in Fourth Funding Round — Can It Beat OpenAI And Google?

Popular dog-themed meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), soared on election night amid heightened expectations of an Elon Musk-touted Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the new Donald Trump administration.
What happened: The original meme coin exploded more than 25% in the last 24 hours to $0.20, the highest it has been in the last seven months.&nbsp;
DOGE's trading volume spiked 117% to over $6 billion, making it the third-most traded cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, behind Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).
The rally pushed the meme token's monthly gains past 84% and year-to-date returns to 135%.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: The jump came as the cryptocurrency market leaned in favor of a Trump victory after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41762845/trump-wins-kentucky-indiana-harris-scores-vermont-as-polls-begin-to-close-across-us">preliminary results showed</a> the GOP nominee securing Kentucky and Indiana while also leading in the battleground states of Georgia and Pennsylvania.&nbsp;
The odds of a Trump <a href="https://polymarket.com/">win </a>shot up to 88% on cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket as of this writing.
Trump's victory is closely tied to DOGE's fortunes, as Musk, arguably the coin's most influential cheerleader, would join the administration to lead the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41220500/elon-musk-says-potential-doge-department-under-a-trump-administration-will-be-a-garbage-co">so-called DOGE department</a> to address what he saw as issues in the federal bureaucracy.

Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; has criticized Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) for its recent business update and preliminary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41759924/super-micro-computer-stock-sinks-on-preliminary-q1-results-q2-guidance-business-update">first-quarter results</a>.
What Happened: Cramer took to X to express his views on Super Micro&#8217;s performance. &#8220;Super Micro is so good at exonerating itself, better than it is selling,&#8221; NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs, he wrote.

Jim Cramer Blasts Super Micro Computer's Earnings: 'Better At Exonerating Itself Than Selling' Nvidia GPUs

AP Projects Trump Wins Iowa

In a landmark moment for American politics, Sarah McBride has been elected as the first openly transgender member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
What Happened: On Tuesday, State Senator McBride, 34, secured a victory in Delaware&#8217;s at-large congressional district, a region with a Democratic inclination, <a href="https://apnews.com/live/trump-harris-election-updates-11-5-2024?tab=00000192-fa45-d414-a79f-ff5daacf0000">according</a> to the Associated Press.
She won against Republican candidate John Whalen with a margin of 747,42 votes.

This achievement follows her successful primary campaign in September, reported Reuters.
McBride has been a pioneer for transgender rights, with a history of firsts to her name. She was&nbsp;the first openly transgender person&nbsp;to serve as a state&nbsp;senator, elected in 2020.
She also made history as the first to speak at a U.S. national political party convention in 2016, and the first to intern at the White House in 2012, under the administration of former President Barack Obama.
Why It Matters: As of the latest updates from the Associated Press, the current standings in U.S. politics are as follows:
In the presidential race, the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, led with 198 electoral votes, while the Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, secured 109.
In the Senate, Republicans are also ahead with 47 seats, compared to the Democrats&#8217; 36. Similarly, in the House of Representatives, Republicans lead with 124 seats, while the Democrats hold 85.
For gubernatorial races, Republicans have the edge with 25 governors, while Democrats have 22.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted Bitcoin's move above $71,000 amid Trump's lead in the battleground states of Virginia and Florida.
"This might not be as tight as it was expected. This might also be the kickstart of the bull market + a weak labor market," the analyst predicted.

Bitcoin Hits $71K, Ethereum, Dogecoin Surge As Results Trickle In For Trump-Harris Presidential Battle: Analyst Predicts 'Kickstart Of The Bull Market'

Florida voters rejected an initiative to legalize marijuana for adult use. Known as Amendment 3, the initiative did not garner the 60% votes necessary Tuesday to pass a constitutional amendment though it did get a clear majority.
The initiative enjoyed star-studded endorsements, including from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40666944/donald-trump-supports-cannabis-legalization-in-florida-game-changer-and-huge-blow-to-ron-desanti">former President Donald Trump</a>, who is a Florida resident. But it faced tough and sustained GOP opposition from Gov. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> and the Florida Republican Party.
With 93% of votes counted, the amendment failed with 55.8% yes votes and 44.2% no votes, according to the Associated Press.
Smart &amp; Safe Florida, the campaign that got the initiative onto the ballot, put out a notice shortly after receiving the news.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

In the weeks before Election Day, DeSantis held a string of conferences denouncing the amendment. Campaign groups opposing legalization were essentially staffed by DeSantis allies. In what many called misusing public money, the Florida <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/41036799/desantis-provokes-outrage-over-taxpayer-funded-ads-linking-marijuana-legalization-to-car-crashes">transportation department ran ads</a> saying that DUI crashes increased in states with legal marijuana, which caused the Amendment 3 campaign to send out cease-and-desist notices.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Industry Responds</h2>
"While it's disappointing to see Florida's Amendment 3 fall short of the 60% threshold necessary, it's important to recognize the bipartisan voter support that the measure received," said Anthony Coniglio, CEO of <a href="https://newlake.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NewLake Capital Partners, Inc</a>. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NLCP#OTC">NLCP</a>). 
"Constitutional amendments requiring 60% approval are always difficult but Americans&#8217; support for the cannabis industry is undeniable. These results don't erase the progress the sector has made or the growing public support for cannabis nationwide."
Tyler Beuerlein, business development officer at Safe Harbor Financial (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHFS#NASDAQ">SHFS</a>), acknowledged that state-level changes do not automatically resolve broader industry challenges.
"Despite both major political parties now voicing support for cannabis reform, federal legalization remains complex, with numerous unresolved issues around banking, interstate commerce, and comprehensive regulatory frameworks."

Jeff Bezos Sells $214M Worth Of Amazon Shares In Latest Stock Move, Here's How Much He Still Owns

As polls begin to close for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41762845/trump-wins-kentucky-indiana-harris-scores-vermont-as-polls-begin-to-close-across-us">the high-voltage 2024 presidential race</a>, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has revealed his intentions to extend his pro-Trump super PAC beyond the 2024 election.
What Happened: On Tuesday night, during a live session on his social media platform, X, formerly Twitter, Musk announced his plans to now focus on the 2026 midterms and local races.
He suggested that a Trump victory would indicate a public desire for change. &#8220;I think there's a sea change in the country,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;I hope I'm not wrong about that.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Last month, it was reported that Musk's publicly disclosed political contributions have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41561298/elon-musk-pumps-more-than-130m-into-trump-and-gop-campaigns">surpassed $130 million</a>, though the real amount may be greater.
Allegations also surfaced that the tech mogul was financially backing a "dark money" nonprofit, which contributed $3 million to a super PAC airing ads that depict Vice President Kamala Harris in a conflicting light on her stance toward Israel.
However, his political activities have not been without controversy. Musk was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41651620/elon-musk-ordered-to-attend-court-hearing-over-1m-election-giveaway">summoned to court over a $1 million lottery</a> organized by his political action committee.
The lawsuit questioned the legality of the lottery, which targeted registered voters in pivotal states.
Meanwhile, Musk has been vocal about his vision for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41701075/elon-musk-warns-of-hardship-for-americans-if-trump-puts-him-in-charge-of-cutting-33-trillion-deb">government efficiency, warning</a> of potential hardship for Americans if Republican candidate Donald Trump appoints him to lead efforts to cut the $33 trillion debt.
Analysts believe a Trump victory could be a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41709990/trump-and-tesla-what-the-future-holds-for-elon-musks-ev-giant-in-case-of-a-gop-win">positive for Musk&#8217;s company Tesla</a>, despite the overall impact on the electric vehicle industry.
