Ask what Korea is talking about.

Korean outlets are reporting that Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO, is being singled out as the biggest casualty of the US midterm elections, in which the Democratic Party swept both the Senate and the House. Chosun Ilbo reports that foreign media including Politico and NBC said Republican candidates Musk supported "lost almost everywhere," making him "one of the biggest losers" despite not being on the ballot. Korea Times adds that as Texas flipped blue, electing its first Democratic governor in over three decades, Musk's business empire faces a "Democratic wave." Seoul shares opened lower Thursday on concerns that the Democratic victory could bring tighter AI regulations, the Korea Times reports. Korean coverage largely frames the election as a referendum on President Donald Trump's second term, with Trump himself acknowledging the Iran war as a key factor in the defeat, according to KBS World and Korea Times.
