Musk Midterm Blues: Loses Millions; Now Petition to Send Him Back; South Africa says 'He's Yours'

Elon Musk spent nearly $474 million backing Republicans in the 2026 US midterms and lost big. His candidates lost in Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and Maine, and Democrats took both the House and Senate. Now a petition to revoke Musk’s US citizenship and deport him to South Africa is doing the rounds again. It comes as Trump’s own administration pushes to denaturalize some Americans. Is Musk a threat to US democracy? Can America really strip its richest citizen? And South Africans have a message: 'No thanks!' Meghna Deka decodes the Musk midterm meltdown on Axis Decodes.

For decades, global narratives have been shaped by Western media... told through Washington, London or Beijing. But as India rises as a major economic, military and diplomatic power, why should others define the world for us? Why shouldn’t India shape its own voice, own perspective, and own narrative? That’s where AXIS comes in. We decode global power shifts, wars and conflicts, the India-China rivalry, Pakistan, West Asia, oil shocks, trade battles and neighbourhood politics - with one key question: What does this mean for India and for you? As India rises, so should its share of voice!
