About 60 People Party Outside Musk's Texas Home in Austin to Celebrate Election Results
About 60 people gathered on the afternoon of November 7 outside a West Lake Hills home, in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, associated with billionaire Elon Musk, holding a street party to celebrate the midterm election results.
Participants arrived on two party buses and in more than a dozen cars. Music played and some attendees danced in inflatable costumes at the event, billed by organizers as the “People Over Billionaires Election After Party.” It was organized by VOCAL-TX, the Center for Popular Democracy, and People's Action, three groups that reported a combined $56.1 million in 2024 revenue.
Organizers said the gathering celebrated voters' rejection of wealthy donors' influence on elections. Musk's political spending this cycle has drawn controversy: Federal Election Commission filings put it at about $445 million, while local media estimates put the total closer to $474 million, including about $212 million spent through allied political committees backing Texas Republican Ken Paxton's U.S. Senate bid, which Paxton ultimately lost. Austin local media reported the gathering was peaceful, with no reports of clashes.
