据估计，埃隆·穆斯克在本轮选举中花费约4.45亿美元，使其成为现代史上最大个人捐助者。
Elon Musk spent an estimated USD 445 million in this cycle, making him the largest individual donor in modern history.
本周三早些时候，埃隆·穆斯克对共和党进行讽刺抨击，因为他曾投入巨额资金支持的多位候选人在美国中期选举中遭遇重大失利。
Elon Musk took a sarcastic swipe at the Republican Party early Wednesday after several candidates he had spent record sums backing suffered major defeats in the US midterm elections.
据报道，穆斯克在选举周期中花费约4.45亿美元，成为美国现代史上最大个人政治捐助者，他在一篇题为“猜猜我的选举干预太空激光这次没起作用”的帖子中，似乎承认了共和党损失的规模。
Musk, who reportedly spent an estimated USD 445 million during the election cycle, making him the largest individual political donor in modern US history, appeared to acknowledge the scale of the Republican losses in a post on "Guess my election-interfering space lasers didn't work this time ," he wrote.
共和党的挫折在德克萨斯州尤为显著，民主党乘势而起，取得重大胜利。穆斯克据称在该州的共和党竞选中投入巨资，这些失利对他的政治押注构成了重大打击。
The Republican setbacks were particularly striking in Texas, where Democrats rode a massive electoral wave to secure major victories. Musk had reportedly invested heavily in Republican campaigns in the state, making the defeats a significant setback for his political bets.
穆斯克还似乎直接提到了德克萨斯州的选举，民主党人吉娜·希诺约萨（反对数据中心扩建）意外获胜。
Musk also appeared to make a direct reference to the Texas race, where Democrat Gina Hinojosa, who has opposed the expansion of data centres, scored a surprise victory.
“太空中的数据中心现在看起来相当诱人，”穆斯克写道，他的计划包括在德克萨斯州建设数据中心等基础设施项目。
"Data centres in space looking pretty appealing right now," Musk, whose plans involve data centres and other infrastructure projects in Texas, wrote.
