US midterm blue wave and market/tech reaction

Several sources are digesting midterm results, with claims that Democrats gained broadly across states and counties. Crypto and tech accounts are debating the implications for tech's political alignment and for markets.

What we know

An account on X retweets a claim that all 21 states and 1,799 counties shifted blue. Another account on X retweets that Democrats are on track to hold full control in 22 states, the most since 1984. Another account on X argues Elon's turn to the right broke tech's bipartisan stance, and separately tells tech bros to focus on making money. A skeptical counter-current includes an unverified Wisconsin voter-roll fraud claim and another account on X saying the red/blue difference is overstated.
