Tesla and SpaceX shares have tumbled sharply as Elon Musk's estimated $500 million investment in Republican candidates yielded no returns, with over 99% of his funds going to losing races.

The stock is now facing headwinds from both political backlash and regulatory scrutiny in Texas, where a Democratic governor may hinder autonomous vehicle rollouts.
