Technology analyst Dan Ives said Elon Musk needs to make political overtures to Texas officials to protect SpaceX’s ambitions for AI data centers after Democrats won the midterm elections. According to Sina Finance, Ives said on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast, The Pomp Podcast, that Texas remains central to SpaceX’s infrastructure strategy and Musk cannot simply move the construction work to Florida. After Gina Hinojosa won the Texas governor’s race, scrutiny of new data centers increased. Hinojosa has called for pausing project approvals until stronger protections for electricity, water and communities are in place, while also saying she is open to working with Musk’s companies. Ives previously warned that Democratic gains in the midterm elections could slow the “AI revolution,” particularly in Texas. Last week, reports said the Democratic victory had raised questions about SpaceX’s expansion plans and a possible merger with Tesla. Ives said he still believes SpaceX will acquire Tesla, while noting that political changes could bring additional regulatory hurdles and that SpaceX’s valuation includes a 20% to 25% discount for political risk. After Hinojosa’s win, Musk joked that orbital data centers had become especially attractive. Ives said that option was still years away and that the immediate focus was building in Texas. He said Musk would join negotiations, which would take time, and that both sides had strong reasons to reach an agreement.

The European Union plans to delay a 10% tariff on electric vehicles from the United Kingdom, which was scheduled to take effect on January 1 for most vehicles. According to Sina Finance, the EU is seeking industry feedback on a proposal to postpone the tariff. Under the post-Brexit agreement, electric vehicles must have at least 55% of their value sourced from the EU or UK to qualify for zero tariffs; battery cells and modules must account for at least 65% of their value, and battery packs at least 70%. Vehicles that fail to meet these requirements face a 10% import tariff. The EU proposed in late 2023 to delay implementation of the stricter rules by three years. Under the rules, which were originally due to take effect in January 2027, 70% of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles traded with the EU would face a 10% tariff following the latest delay. In June, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), the UK's main automotive industry lobby group, warned that electric vehicle manufacturers would have to pay £1.4 billion (about $1.86 billion) in tariffs if the local-content requirements, also known as rules of origin, were not resolved. The UK and the EU are each other's largest export markets for electric vehicles, and both have set targets to phase out combustion-engine vehicles during the 2030s.
