Democrats swept both chambers of Congress, taking control of the House and Senate in a major setback for Trump and the MAGA movement.
“As President, I am 100% in favor of Super Intelligence (SI), and will work with the many States in the US that want to become RICH by having them.
They are GOLD, and only foolish leadership will say “NO” to the riches they bring,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. US President Donald Trump on Friday shared a Newsmax opinion column praising his decision to take on Iran’s nuclear programme, days after Republicans lost control of Congress in the midterm elections.
This friction over technological policy unfolds against a broader backdrop of political upheaval, as Musk separately reacted to sweeping Democratic victories in the 2026 US midterm elections with sarcastic posts on X, including a remark that “data centres in space” were looking increasingly appealing, after Republicans suffered major electoral setbacks despite his extensive financial support for their campaigns. The entrepreneur’s commentary followed a statement shared by Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari on the platform, in which she argued that regulating the sector should be an immediate priority.
Earlier, Trump’s oligarch ally Elon Musk reacted to a recent policy call by Arizona Democratic Representative Yassamin Ansari regarding the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence.
